The original Diablo 1 game is playable in your browser

I sense a soul in search of answers!

I had that phrase running on my mind everyday. 1996 Diablo was one of the first RPG games I played. I can say that this game strengthened my foundations in RPG gaming. Multiple story lines, grind great weapons and armors. I can’t imagine the hours spent just to get that ‘The grandfather’ samurai, or the ‘Archangel staff of apocalypse’, or even the ‘Windforce’.

Thanks to Rivsoft.net, the game is now playable in your own browser. Just go to (https://diablo.rivsoft.net/) and click the Play shareware. Take not that in the shareware version, you can only play the first 2 parts of the dungeon as the warrior.

If you happen to own a full version of Diablo 1 ($10 in GOG), you can then select the DIABDAT.MPQ from your game directory to play the full version of the game. Ahhh!! nostalgic. Hahaha
