10 Video Games You Didn't Realise Are Over 20 Years Old
6. Diablo
It's all about that loot. Released in North America in December 1996, it would take nearly a full year before the game hit European stores. It was worth the wait though, as Diablo would solidify Blizzard's claim on making the purest E-crack imaginable.
Diablo has one of the most devoted fan bases of any game ever produced, and that obsessive drive to keep crawling and clicking comes from this title. Diablo II is considered the best of the franchise, with the third instalment regarded less favourably, though it's hard for someone who didn't grow up with the franchise to see what the big deal was.
Still, Diablo really did start the trend of addictive gameplay slowly dripping new enticements on players to keep them enthralled - mainly down to the excellent randomised dungeons providing a ton of replay value.
