Something in me can not help but to be drawn to darkness. Drawn to dark music, dark movies and dark games like this. But I'd never allow my child to watch me play this. My mom played games like this too and was drawn to stuff like this. That's why I am now too. I wish She would have been into lighter things.
Damn skippy this music ambience is beyond epic. However the jaunty flute tune played in the lower levels was funny. My cousin called it satan's marching band

This game had everything going for it. The dungeons changing with every new game? Amazing randomization so early on its insane. Favorite one in the series by far
This game had the best atmosphere in my opinion. The music and graphics are just so relaxing, I remember always falling asleep at my PC and sleeping like a baby as that soundtrack played on the background. I miss games like this...
My dad gave me this game when i was like 9 after he went through his old stuff and found some of his old PC games and a USB CD ROM drive because my laptop at the time did not have a CD ROM drive. He gave me this, Civilization 3, Rollercoaster Tycoon 1 and 2 and Diablo 2, I sunk the most time into diablo 1 out of all the games despite the fact it scared the pants off me lol, I'm almost 17 now and i still find myself coming back to this game its just such a classic and a lot of modern games just don't compare to this. Sure it wasn't flashy or impressive even for its time but its still just a timeless game that gets you sucked in really easily with so much replay value
I remember I got a Christmas gift when I was 12, it was a Battle Chest type thing, but it had Warcraft II, Starcraft and Diablo all in one box. It remains among my top 3 favorite gifts I've ever gotten.
Pure gaming experience. From the first second ("the sanctity of this place has benn fouled") you knew you were playing a true hit. Thats the best of the franchise.
I love the music in this game. It was so much darker. Weapopns didn't drop as often so you would get excited when you see one. Enemies didn't look as cartoonish as in the next games, etc...
I agree too. I tried getting into Diablo 3. Story wise, it was okay. But the fact that you kept getting Rare Drops off of almost every monster, even on toughest difficulty, made the game too easy and boring for me. The greatest challenge is the lack of drop, and having to be frugal with your money to buy potions.
I think my fav aspect of the original diablo is finding and learning spells through spellbooks. it was such a thrill to find a new spell randomly and see what it could do
I remember this game taking everybody by storm when it came out. People from all different backgrounds were really into this game, didn't matter what you played before. Everybody loved it.
THANK YOU! I have missed this game for so long! I’ve played this game ever since i was a toddler, a couple years ago my stupid brother broke the disc by accidently smashing it under his foot. I haven’t been able to find a good priced copy anywhere so my only nostalgia was from twitch streams with people loudly yelling in a different language and small youtube playthroughs that were mostly taken down by copyright. Hopefully one day i can find a good copy of this game and livestream it. This brings back so many memories for me! Finally i have a longplay to keep my past memories alive while i find my own copy.
I remember my brother watching me play this years ago. I was in one of the lowest dungeons toward the end and picked up a non-magical short sword. My brother said, "a regular short sword? Bout the only good that'll do you down here is if you fall on it"
@@Vespertine__ I think I saw this first time, because a friend of mine had it for PS1. Later I got it for PC and now when I could hear the sounds, it was super scary.
Im glad to see this video was uploaded on the day of the release in 1996. I played the game myself to celebrate 20 years of Diablo. Still my favourite.
Something got lost along the way, the Diablo of then wasn't over the top, it was paced and didn't rely on MASSIVE screen filling effects and a million things at once. Now everything is about how much bullshit can we fit on the screen at once to appease the audience of purely visual stimuli.
Diablo 1 was just a simple horror-themed RPG. Combat was secondary to ambiance and tone. The story was extraordinarily simple and small-scale (a small hamlet is beset by demons, and it is slowly revealed why it's happening), but it worked to make the player feel less like some kind of "chosen hero" and more like just some wretched, lonely traveler that is the only one remotely capable of solving this problem. The tone slowly shifts from "fighting zombies in a spooky crypt" to "fighting for your life as you encounter horrors beyond belief deep below the surface of the world." While you do level up and gain new equipment, effectively becoming stronger and more capable, there's still always a sense that you are ill-equipped to deal with the kind of evil that inhabits this hellish underworld, and it's wonderful. Diablo 2 returned with a much, MUCH bigger focus on gameplay, mostly with the stat-building, skill-tree mechanics, and the iconic loot system. The story was blown up from being small-scale with the threat of becoming large-scale, to simply large-scale. We get about 50 times more background information on Diablo and the other prime evils, their plans, their history, their powers, etc. We now take control of one of seven grand heroes, and travel across the entire world with the goal of destroying three ancient and powerful-beyond-human-comprehension evil forces. Player empowerment is a big part of the game, as you grow and become more able to fend of massive hordes of demons and beasts with your overwhelming power. Both have their merits, but have wildly different focus. They are most easily compared to Terminator 1 and Terminator 2, really; both great movies, but very very different from one another, despite being so closely connected.
@@TheBardorp It's actually closer to the equivalent of Terminator 3. The creators took a bunch of stuff that they thought was cool from the 2nd entry in the series and made a new product out of it, but completely misunderstood what made the previous entries so popular, so it was all shallow action and no heart. I hope to god I never have to witness the Diablo equivalent of the embarrassing dumpster fire that was Genisys.
Man, this brings so many memories. Diablo was one of my fav games as a kid, and the sequel kept me hooked during my teen years. A shame Blizzard North is no more.
Same. Buddy Trent and I played the shit outta this game. Always online too, back when you had to watch out for player killers and someone would spam "PK PK PK" up in the chat and you knew to run away or some top player was gonna smoke you. Then you'd get the really cool ppl that'd give you AMAZING gear that they didn't want anymore and it was leagues above your own and it was the best... I miss being young...
More than 714 000 subs..... God nooo..... This guy does not have a cellphone..... 😅 He just love old Games dude Know it's not easy to understand it for millennials........
Played this with my brother in the '90s on two 486 pcs with a LAN cable. Also Warcraft 2, and Doom1 & 2 of course. I haven't seen this game in years. Fun and nostalgic to watch the gameplay here. Such an addictive game. We never got to the level you have here.
11:19 My favorite part of the soundtrack right after the first entrance of the cathedral. Those games had a certain charm these days. You can't catch that with just high polished graphics.
@@theobserver4214 absolutely, it did suck. I also played it on the PSX first, and years later on PC. It was scary anyway, and a great experience, but it was made to be played on PC, that's for sure. I liked the addition of the logs in the options screen on the PSX version, though
Is a +%6 chance to hit ring "iron ring" better than a "ring of truth" with +10% in all resistances, +10 hit points, and -1 damage from enemies? 2:44:11
I enjoyed Diablo 1 more than 2 and 3, mainly because it focused on the cathedral, its depths, and Tristram. And it nailed that. The additional locations in Diablo 2 and 3 didn't do much for me. Other things about 2 and 3 were definitely improvements, but I think the different locations made the story feel less cohesive. Sometimes less is more.
"Please, listen to me. The Archbishop Lazarus, he led us down here to find the lost prince. The bastard led us into a trap! Now everyone is dead...Killed by a Demon he called the Butcher. Avenge us! Find this Butcher and slay him so that our souls may finally rest..."
Wow just wow the atmosphere, the deep dialogue and superb writing. Look at how far Diablo has fallen to the depths of Diablo Immortal. As my precious Diablo succumbed to Activision Blizzard twisted fate, I fled from Blizzcon, hoping that what i saw and heard was an out of season april fools joke. It wasn't... My faith now wanes and with it the last of my dollars as well. Please aid me and bring back the real Blizzard. I will repay your efforts - I swear upon my honor.
Mage is the best char for D1, just first 4 lvls are pain to play. Till you gets hands on first book of mana shield. After then, the gameplay is just a park-stroll. :)
i still remember when i entered a computer shop looking for a pc with a Quake game. i saw the icon for diablo, clicked it and i was immediately hooked. that was around 1997, time flies really fast.
"Grisworld ? Good Old Grisworld. I Love Him Like A Brother ! We Fought Together, You Know Back When...We...Lazarus...Lazarus... Lazarus !!!" Still my favourite quotes and accent in entire game !! I always adored how he spoke when I started the game.
Yeah, Rogue was the first I was able to beat it with. After playing it enough and getting experience, I was eventually able to beat it with the Sorcerer. I've never beaten the game with the Warrior.
@lisvender you can leave unused items including gold on the ground in town. It never disappears. Just remember to pick it up before you save and shut it off for the day. Yeah been there done that 😭

The old graphics more scarier than the graphics nowadays, the vibe they gave us never get bored no matter how many times we watch it.
Bingo.
When tech and everything else gets updated the psychological effect gets nerfed, sadly.
So then i said if the universe is so big, why wont he fight me?

Its one of the best games ive ever played, hopefully Blizzard will remaster this someday!
Similar to Doom.
i've never played. i remember when it came but i watched some of it here it's too charming
I would play this masterpiece any day over diablo 3

this feels exactly like playing DnD, thanks for sharing this awesome gameplay!!! keep it up my man!!
As a kid watching my dad playing this game, the eerie music just scares me.
Nostalgia hits really hard, all the quotes, sounds, the music etc. omg
I SENSE A SOUL, I SENSE A SOUL, I SENSE A SOUL
-In search of answers ♥️
1:45 - 3:10 thank you for playing back the whole sound
I still remember the "YOU DRINK WATER??"
The vibes are nostalgic, scary and damning but most of all the voice conversations are really good.
When you accidentaly hit one of the Blood Knights with your sword at 7.56:23 is pure gold haha
This is the game that made me fall in love with gaming.
i still remember when i entered a computer shop looking for a pc with a Quake game. i saw the icon for diablo, clicked it and i was immediately hooked. that was around 1997, time flies really fast.
think its Playable on windows 10? ima have to buy an older PC or just the OS to enable playing Older Games.
This and Kings quest was some of my favorite pc games
Same! As well as Heroes of Might and Magic.
"Grisworld ? Good Old Grisworld. I Love Him Like A Brother ! We Fought Together, You Know Back When...We...Lazarus...Lazarus... Lazarus !!!" Still my favourite quotes and accent in entire game !! I always adored how he spoke when I started the game.
was only able to beat this classic with the Rogue. Frustrating. But i had a lot of fun playing it and 2.
Yeah, Rogue was the first I was able to beat it with. After playing it enough and getting experience, I was eventually able to beat it with the Sorcerer. I've never beaten the game with the Warrior.
@@robc6022 I played and finished Diablo 1 over 40 times with all classes. Howewer, with warrior is a bit more hard, but not impossible:)
2:24:00 It appears that many firebolts aren't connecting. If holding shift while casting maybe you need to aim for their feet.
I wish they would remaster this game, all i ask for is too see items on ground toggle :P.
And maybe running / faster movement in town.
@@robc6022 you can speed up the running in town. There's an option for it.
@lisvender you can leave unused items including gold on the ground in town. It never disappears. Just remember to pick it up before you save and shut it off for the day. Yeah been there done that 😭
Lots of nostalgia here. I played countless hours back in the day. That music in the town, so creepy and familiar!
I was in college when this came out. Needless to say my marks started to slip for a short while.
I wish I was born earlier and could enjoy the atmosphere of this game
Fresh meat at 3:20:08
THX FOR THAT TIME :D BEST LINE OF DIALOG EVER MADE!
suvazul 3:20:10 you mean
Thanks!
fresh meat hahahaha! i didn't notice he skipped the butcher early on.
one of the scariest part of the game, i remember when i was little and got there lol
Nossa mano! To com 30 minutos de vídeo e já to é com raiva desse maluco que tá jogando! heaheahe..Da pra notar rapidamente que esse cara não sabe jogar! Pó mano, até os princípios básicos do Diablo, aos equipamentos e habilidades de mago o cara não entende! Mais é respeitável a bravura do maluco! 8 horas de jogo. Se ele tiver zerado mesmo eu dou meus parabéns! Vou assistir até o final. E feliz ano novo..Adoro esse canal.
Damn i feel old.
I loved this game back in the 90's
Oh man being a low level mage was so hard! Love this
Slow paced and dark, something DIII and DIV haven't been able to duplicate, sadly.
Childhood memories right here.
A milestone in the history of video games.
Stay a while, and listen...
They ain't kidding. Eight hours? That's a hell of a timer. Aw well, Geronimo!
When menu at 2:00 displayed, and nothing happened for a while, I've forgot in nostalgy memories during intro, that it is only video, and I've tried to move mouse to the Single Player option. :)
