I did decide to try Diablo II, though ... got the 'battle chest' on eBay for cheap (now I'll have *3* copies of Diablo - PC, Mac/PC and this one ...)

i never got the first one | I my opinion, you don't need to dry Diablo if you have played Diablo 2. In fact, I'd be surprised if you can stand it!

I got a copy of diablo after I had had diablo2 for a while, and it was dated, slow, confusing, ugly and unrewarding. and yet I'm still playing diablo2 (I've just come out of a game, in fact. my necro's just got to nightmare difficulty. broadband and a decent computer have got me into it again)

Diablo II is an improvement in every way. Despite having played it when it was first released, it is clunky compared to II. Even I can't stand to play it now.

| | | I think I'd have to say that my favorite part about Diablo 2 is the hoardric cube. I just luv combinig jewels to make perfect ones and making full rejuvenation potions. I also luv the sound that the skull makes when you click on it.

| | | I currently have Sacred and Dungeon Lords. I might get Titan Quest and Sacred 2: Fallen Angel. I also don't like the Diablo series that much, since it's more about getting gear than playing the game for enjoyment. |

I usually buy and play any decent Diablo clone I can lay my hooves on. The original Diablo was OK when it was first released. I suppose the "randomly generated levels" feature played a major role. I loved D2. I think Titan Quest was one of the best clones.
Hm, who knows, maybe people really expect a list of diablo clones when they read "list of diablo clones"? That was my expectation, anyway. Now I want my money back.

| | I know of a few 'Diablo-clones' such as these:
- Kingdom Under Fire
- Shadowgrounds
- Prince of Qin
- Freedom Force (no relation to Freedom Fighters)
Never really liked Diablo or it's clones, to be honest, especially the ones I despise very much such as Shadowgrounds and Prince of Qin.

| | I recommend Titan Quest. Many classes of characters. Many items. Cool monsters. Possible black hole of time
