Why the fuck is Diablo 1 listed in pre 70s? Am I seeing this pic wrong? Was there an original Diablo in the 70s that Blizzard copied?

It's not.  It looks like they were going to have qoutes from different games all over the list, but abandoned that idea half way through.  You'll notice Pro Wrestling falls between '71 and '72, but it was released in '86.  The Mario qoute just so happens to fall beside its game mention.  Lol, further proves that the list went to crap after 1990.

lol... That shouldn't have confused me but it did. You know what would have been more relevant? Putting the quotes in the actual decade the game was published... Just further confirms that this list is crap. Not a good sign to use a 90s game quote in the pre 70s bracket.

Lol, yea.  Though, it also wouldn't have been quite as confusing if they had kept with the qoute idea going throughout the list.  It seriously looks like they gave up on putting any effort in the list about half way through.
