Diablo (computer game)

Diablo is a point and click action computer role-playing game released by Blizzard Entertainment and developed by Blizzard North, released on November 30, 1996. In this hack and slash game, players fight against evil demons attempting to conquer the world. The central goal in Diablo is to slay the demons in a sixteen-level dungeon underneath the small town of Tristram, and ultimately confront Diablo himself. Diablo has an amazing amount of replayability, however - all of the dungeon levels are randomly generated, populated randomly with monsters that drop random items imbued with random magical properties.

Each new edition of the game extends the gameplay through additions such as new character classes, monsters, and items. The latest installment, the expansion pack for Diablo II, Diablo II Lord of Destruction has a huge online gaming community, complete with a primitive economy. Diablo in many ways resembles roguelike games, the main differences being the vastly more realistic graphics (utilizing DirectX) and the fact the game is in real time, rather than being turn based.
