Blizzard Entertainment and GOG.COM have teamed up to rerelease select classic Blizzard games, beginning with Diablo®, Blizzard’s legendary 1996 action role-playing game that introduced players to the harsh—and deeply rewarding—world of Sanctuary.

The original Diablo® is available now via digital distribution for the first time ever on GOG.COM. Players looking for the authentic Diablo experience can play the game as it was in 1996, with period-appropriate 20 FPS SVGA graphics, and the ability to matchmake through the classic version of Blizzard’s Battle.net® online-gaming service.

Blizzard and GOG.COM have collaborated on an updated version of the game, which includes out-of-the-box Windows 10 compatibility, and a host of bug fixes. Players can choose either version of the game from a launcher.

tinyE: Why doesn't GOG release any more good old games, just more of this new indie crap!
Not to mention the pixelated graphics. ;)

liquidsnakehpks: Does this not include the expansion ?
It's the base game, without the expansion. We have no information about Hellfire at this time.

Crosmando: Damn son, if you follow up on this you may have just redeemed yourself GOG.

Edit: Is this GOG exclusive or is it on Battle.net app too?
Only on GOG.

Lifthrasil: Aaahhh! Fresh meat!

Thanks for bringing this here! This is an awesome addition.

But before I buy it, just to be on the safe side, a question: are the original multiplayer options (LAN and direct connection via TCP/IP) still in the game? Or is a battlenet account (or Galaxy) mandatory for multiplayer in this "updated" version?
Original multi options are still available, of course. :)

tfishell: HOLY MOLY

why do I always sleep in on days when the amazing stuff happens?!

obviously, unbelievable work GOG and Blizzard

I am kind of surprised there are no goodies; did Diablo 1 not really come with any? Manual? (guess I'll have to read the comments to find out, perhaps)

tfishell: Unbelievable (in a good way obviously). ;) Headline: "Profits rise a gorillian percent"
Manual is available once you install the game.

Hastur.: Manual is available once you install the game.

Swedrami: Just buying it should be enough, no?
Would be a first if you actually had to install a game in order to get access to its manual.
You can download the manual separately as well :)

grinninglich: What about Hellfire expansion?
We stream the game as it is available on GOG, so without Hellfire Expansion. :)

tfishell: (sorry pawel, wrong quote)

https://arstechnica.com/gaming/2019/03/original-diablo-is-now-on-sale-for-10-drm-free-but-not-on-blizzards-app/ mentions the soundtrack as bonus goodies. Is that a mistake?

"GOG's version comes with a few goodies, including FLAC and MP3 versions of the original soundtrack (yes) and a high-res scan of the original manual (yes). Enjoy a few of its pages in this gallery."
It's a mistake. There is no soundtrack among the extras.

Maighstir: I didn't read the email yet, but yes, between reading the thread title and the actual post, I was certain GOG had found a long-forgotten game with the same name from some one-man team.
