Venture into the bowels of hell itself to save a devastated town from a demonic threat in Blizzard's Diablo. Inspired by such early computer titles as Rogue and NetHack, Diablo is an action RPG with randomly generated dungeons, items, and monsters. Choose from a male warrior, female rogue, or a male sorcerer before exploring the dark and decrepit dungeons alone or with a friend. Each fantasy archetype is individually rated in strength, vitality, dexterity, and magic, influencing your character's damage, health, armor class, and mana, respectively. The action is viewed from an isometric perspective as you complete quests and attack skeletons, goat men, gargoyles, and other vile creatures. Defeating enemies will grant you experience points as well as equipment of varying quality to improve your hero.

Console games have a come a really LONG way. My original experience with Diablo was on PC using mouse & keyboard, "click hell", but fun. I have to the PS1 version is fun and a trip down memory lane, but did not age well at all. The controls are stiff and somewhat klunky, using the D-pad movement and directional aiming. The graphics are decent for the time and system it was released for. I played using a PS3, worked fine, but the lack of an analog stick for movement and aiming really taints the experience. All that said, other being a Blizzard fan boy and wanting this as part of you collection (which I'm guilty!), I would definitely not recommend the price buyers are asking for it at this time.
Although I negotiated to around the going price, it had a nice center crack as well as some scuff and some heavy scratches, surprisingly the game functions normal.
Diablo is a great dungeon rpg game on PlayStation. It has replay value because of the different difficulty levels. Random dungeons are awesome which adds to the replay value. The variety of weapons, armor, amulets, rings, and spells are great which get even better on higher difficulty levels and the farther you explore the dungeons. I truly recommend this game not only because it is going up in price but because it is getting very hard to find. So glad to have it back again.
I was very happy with the Playstation version of this game. I was surprised by how easy it was to control with the d-pad. The option to double gameplay speed was also very useful. If you're a fan of the Diablo series or any games made by Blizzard, I would highly recommend this game. The price is a bit high, but will only go up in my opinion.
In 1998 game creators of Blizzard created a multi-platform (PS/PC) game called Diablo, and in later years Diablo 2 and more. Diablo's unique level set-up allows a player, or players (2 on PS and 4 on PC online), to fight the seemingly endless armies of demons and undead from hell as they make their way to the final boss; DIABLO, the Lord of Terror. In this edition a unique concept was made so every time the game was played different levels, and random quests would be presented to the players as well as 3 modes of game play (Normal, Nightmare, and HELL). The random level creator, also found in the later editions, was beyond compair at the time. This method made the game's 'Replay Value' far higher than most games created to this point. Even today (2006), Battle.Net still homes well over 25,000 players for Daiblo (Sorry players, Battle.Net is PC only). However, the new 2-Player set-up allows the multi-player aspec to live on in this edition of Diablo. Bravo to all at Blizzard for this wonderful installment and GAME ON to all you gamers! (5 of 5, Excellent)
