Why is diablo 1 fun? by CHicago 02/24/2006, 12:32am PST
If this was a ASCII game like Angband or Nethack, it would be something someone coded up over a month in his free time. But the fact remains that diablo is as much a time suck as civ.

Is it because of the production values (monsters squelch satisfyingly, dying in a splatter of gore, everything is pretty)? Is it because the
character doesn't react at the speed of thought (Needing time to walk vs. running as quickly as the keyboard can send commands)? Is it the gradually more menacing-looking monsters?

    It's not. It WAS because it was one of a kind, then Diablo 2, now MMOs. NT by Creexul :( 02/24/2006, 1:05am PST NEW
