'''''Diablo''''' was ranked game of the year by several gaming magazines. It was a ground breaking game that took the time-tested dungeon crawl and suped it up to become a something more. You play the single surviving hero of the town of Tristram who must descend into the depths of the defiled church to destroy the demon Diablo. There is a labyrinth of dark tunnels ahead of you filled with a vast assortment of terrible creatures with pretty cool artificial intelligences.

Although the soundtrack only consists of six tracks they are all very inspired and mood inducing. Each one has obviously been painstakingly composed and edited to fit the game area it's played in very well. Tristram's music is especially pretty and the dungeon music is often terrifying.

Diablo - W32 - USA.jpg
Platform: Windows 32
Year: 1996
Developer: Blizzard Entertainment, Inc., Blizzard North
Buy: Amazon

Diablo is a action RPG dungeon-crawler with a demonic theme. You play the single surviving hero of the town of Tristram who must descend into the depths of the defiled church to destroy the demon Diablo. There is a labyrinth of dark tunnels with a vast assortment of terrible creatures with pretty cool artificial intelligence.

The Macintosh release of Diablo is essentially the same game and uses the same music and sound effects as the Windows release. The PlayStation release has lower-quality graphics and an interface redesigned to work with a controller. The music is the same, but it's down-sampled to half quality.

Although the soundtrack only consists of six tracks they are all very inspired and mood inducing. Each one has obviously been painstakingly composed and edited to fit the game area it's played in very well. Tristram's music is especially pretty and the dungeon music is often terrifying. The titles come from the official album Diablo: 15 Year Anniversary - The Music of Diablo 1996 - 2011.
