Oh man, I've got to go back and check that XD. I never noticed the cage swinging that much

Sadly I only have the CD case of a more recent version of Diablo (and Hellfire) because I lost my original one. I think that the Diablo manual also had a bit of lore, but it was mostly about Tristram, Archbishop Lazarus and King Leoric and the war in the Westmarch.

I would Google this but wasn't Hellfire an unreleased expansion of Diablo 1?  I heard about it plenty back in the day but I believe it only existed on the internet as an user made expansion to the original game. 

It was made by Synergistic Software, a division of Sierra On-Line division back then. Blizzard never released an official expansion pack themselves, but they authorized Hellfire as a third party expansion pack. They even released a Diablo+Hellfire bundle back in 1998. 

Hellfire added a new class (the Monk), a couple of new dungeon settings, much more rare items, extra items such as oils, trap runes and new spell pages. Plus they upped Diablo's strength a lot, bastard was tough to beat normally, but with Hellfire, even the Rogue trick was useless.
