Diablo 1 finally finally available for purchase!
Over the years, Diablo lovers have not had the opportunity to legally purchase first-hand the first edition of the legendary series of games. He did not sell her to Blizzard either in digital or physical form.
Players had to settle for one of the previous releases. Unfortunately, the last such edition appeared in 2001, in the form of Diablo Battle Chest collecting the first and second part of the game. In the Blizzard digital store, we can only buy Diablo 2 and Diablo 3.
Today it has changed - the first part of the game prepared in cooperation with Blizzard has appeared in the GOG store. Was this the result of one of the Diablo related projects that the company spoke about last year?
What does Diablo look like in 2019?
In the GOG version, there are two modes to choose from: one slightly conquered, compatible with Windows 10 and ... offering only a local network game. The second original, with SVGA graphics in 20 frames a second. Paradoxically, it is this mode that allows you to play Battle.NET. There is no Mac version, although many games on GOG receive such versions (buying newer Blizzard games, we also always get a PC and Mac version).
In addition, we can change several graphics settings.
The "modern" version does not scale to the entire screen, while the "original" version does.
Rob Bridenbecker, vice president of Blizzard, commented on the whole Diablo rebreather project on the GOG platform:
We regretted that these cult titles were not available to players. We are very happy that cooperation with the GOG.COM team will help change this
In addition to Diablo, the company intends to publish, in cooperation with GOG, such classics as Warcraft: Orcs & Humans and Warcraft II . The digital premiere of these games will take place in the uncertain future. It is also unknown whether Diablo will receive the Hellfire addition, which originally appeared in 1997.
It will be interesting to look at this classic again after many years. Will the game survive the test of time? Now we can see. The game costs GOG on the day of the premiere PLN 34.99. Interestingly, the Diablo series is most often mentioned on wish lists in GOG - a place where the store community can vote for the game they would most likely see added. Today one of these wishes came true.
Diablo 1 finally finally available for purchase!
