I really love Diablo (the first one, the second ruined the franchise but getting rid of the atmosphere and making it about collecting items as currency) and want to know what language it was written in. Also, I'm currently playing on US East if anyone wants to play with me.
I really wish Blizzard would fix the fucking hacking though. It should take them a single engineer to do it at this point.
Which way is the right path, as I stand upon
this chaotic crossroad of hate…
How many ways are there to roam
on this dark and damned road of Fate…
“There are many ways, my son,
to find where the souls of Demons remain…
But it takes only one second of despair and of doubt
until at last, your soul, they will gain…
Inherit these lands, these things, these dreams
that are yours, forever, to adore…
For there is no life, in the depths of chaos, my son,
for you to explore…”

A Quick Note From The Designers
First of all, thank you very much for buying Diablo. We have
worked hard to create a game that you will want to spend many,
many hours playing. To further that end, we have added some
features in Diablo that may not be apparent at first glance.
Diablo is a VERY different play experience depending on which
character class you choose. The tactics and strategies employed
by the Warrior, for instance, would be sheer folly for a
Sorcerer to attempt. Many high level items and spells will only
be useable by certain classes. After you defeat Diablo, try
another game with a different character class.
You won't be disappointed.
Diablo also randomly generates every level of the labyrinth,
including the rooms, hallways, lights, shrines, fountains,
cauldrons, pools, special themed areas, treasures and monsters.
The list just goes on, but, what it boils down to is each time you
enter a new level within the labyrinth, you will have new things
to do and discover.
Finally, Diablo takes on an entirely different feel when you are in
a multiplayer game. The interaction that occurs, the new
strategies and the difference in how you have to think all make for
a very exciting and very new experience.
Again, thank you for grabbing that Diablo box off of the shelf.
Always remember: If you think you've found everything -- you're
wrong...

First Diablo had much better palette selection, due to 256-colors. Artists post-processed everything manually. The second game had blatant 3d-render with some objects looking out of place, and they were colored using multitexture-like crap.

The first Diablo is much harder to mod, Diablo2 about a dozen of text file changes = new game.
