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.

I was wondering if it even released in the USA.  I am looking at the wiki page and apparently it did.  I never really saw it in stores ever or bundled in battle chest like they say it was.  I believe it must have been more prevelant in Europe.  If anything it must have barely been on the shelves in USA before pulled.

Mine's a PAL version, even though I was living in south america back in the 90's. I used to come every summer here to Portugal (to visit family) and always bought a shitload of PC games (back where I lived it was impossible to get any decent PC game). 

It's a shame that Hellfire wasn't more divulged than it was, it's really fun and adds much more needed depth to the original Diablo. Plus, it got rid of the damn annoying "Click for every attack" that the original Diablo had and always drove me insane whenever I was playing the Warrior class.

Already have the CE pre-ordered

I've been waiting for this game for too long...too frigging long. Oh and they'll be bringing back the Prime Evils, you can bet anything on that. Now that the Worldstone has gone kaput and that the Blackstone is basically the only source left for the PE's to arise, it's gonna be interesting seeing how Asmodan (one of the Lesser Evils) will do about it.

In any case, the world of Sanctuary is fucked...again


You've been reading too many Diablo books haven't you...

A few...

I love the lore of the Diablo series. Remember when Diablo II came out, and they still had those huge boxes for PC games and big ass manuals? I still have my DII manual and I still read it frequently, it has so many details and it's extremely interesting as well. 

I'm still reading through the Book of Cain. I recommend it to anyone who likes the Diablo lore as well.

I love the Diablo lore and I still treasure my Diablo I and Diablo II manuals. They were so great, with concept art (I remember doing a pencil drawing of the rogue from Diablo I) and tons of backstory really fleshing out the universe. StarCraft's manual was also great which is why I was so pissed when StarCraft II's manual turned out to be crap.



Signature goes here!

Blizzard went with the minimalistic approach for their Starcraft II manual unfortunately, and I'm rather sad to think that they'll probably do the same for Diablo III :-/

That's a good idea. We could all choose different classes! I call shotgun on Demon Hunter 'cause I'm a sucker for ranged classes.

damn you!
Guess Ill Witch doctor it.



Meh, i'm out of the group then. I have all the preparations needed for the Witch Doctor and how I'm going to set up my skills, and I'm not moving out of that plan
