GameSpot’s Occult Classics Feature

GameSpot has published an “Occult Classics” feature that takes a closer look at games over the years that have pitted the player against demons, including Blizzard’s original Diablo.

Blizzard’s genre-defining action role-playing game invited you to adventure down into the depths of hell itself. The game’s nontraditional portrayal of hell was interesting, but its fire-spewing title character–naturally, the main villain waiting for you at the end–is the very vision of what a monstrosity from hell might look like. Diablo’s amazing presentation and addictive gameplay made the game tremendously successful, despite the intense subject matter.
