Diablo ![]() Rating: 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 best CNET Gamecenter Review By Hugh Falk (1/16/1997)
For you gluttons who chose to read on, Diablo is little more than a killer version of two of my favorite games: Avalon Hill's Telengard and Epyx's version of Rogue. Telengard is the only game produced in 1982 that still occupies space on my hard drive. (The fact that it only takes up 206K helps.)

No matter how powerful a character became in those classics, there was little sense of closure and nobody to prove your worth against. Diablo not only adds plot elements and amazing graphics to the basic hunter/gatherer premise, it also adds multiplayer capability. starting off on the wrong
