gotta kill the ach bishop lazures(SP) and pul the switch if i remember right..its been years
SP refering to Single Player or spelling? o.O Because I was playing multiplayer but I killed him. I couldnt find the "switches" though. I was all over that floor and the floor above it combing every inch for those damn switches. Finally said "To hell with it." and played Cat N Mouse on Starcraft. Lol...
u just had to have mana shield and really high lvl fire ball and then hes easy (wen ur a sorc).

Diablo I was far better than Diablo II on a lot of levels (IMO). If Diablo III turns out to be more like Diablo II than Diablo I, I'll be personally disappointed. I want something evil, not something borderline with normal.

i agree 100%. diablo 2 was more of an adventure game than a quiet dark game, like d1 was. i want something that combines d2 and d1. so its dark and quiet but still adventurous.

Hell yeah, and I still return to it from time to time. As for the complaint about monsters running away, that's easy to overcome, just use a sorcerer and grab every chain lightning book you can find. The game is horribly balanced towards the sorcerer, you can just walk along nuking everything, but its also cool. I love the pounding music, sounds great on a fine sound system, my one complaint about D2 is they really mellowed the music out. Also Vanilla D MUST be played with the hellfire addon, I'd love to get a hold of an original copy just for collecting purposes (why the hell didn't Blizzard snag the license and stick it in the BChest is beyond me). My only gripes with D1 is the annoying 'uh uh uh' sounds when you are getting hit, they get on my nerves, and playing a melee char and having to click for every single swing. Stay away from that supposed 'hellfire fixed' addon, at first I thought it would be cool having the 'supposed' bugfixes, but I thought it was kind of dumb having ultra unique gear dropping right off the bat in normal difficulty. I'm a Diablo freak to the end, I love both games, and the novels, in fact I don't even delegate time for any other PC franchises except for Need For Speed and Command and Conquer.
Let's see how Diablo II fairs against Diablo I (Yet again, IMO)
Gameplay - Diablo I is better
Slower paced and eerie. Less clutter and a lot more manuevering and other different tactics. Diablo II was run and kill.
Music - Diablo I is way better
So creepy. The first part of the labyrinth was great. Only instrument I recognized was drums. Everything else was screams, groans, struggling victims, and monsters. Diablo II was like a damn opera. Oh and by the way, the best music from Diablo II was in Tristram - because it was from Diablo I and it was/is legendary.
Monsters - Diablo II is better
Diablo II wins this simply because of the diversity of all the monsters, but on the average, Diablo I had more nostalgic enemies.
Terrain/the world - Diablo I is better
Diablo I was made to be creepy, and what better way to make it creepy than to enclose the character in a single labyrinth with limited retreats and plenty of areas to explore in the meantime. Diablo II was too open. It ruined the "trapped" feeling
Skills - Diablo II is better
Again, Diablo II was more diverse, this time with skills, so it wins this one hands down.
Characters - Diablo II is better
More diverse again.

For all those points that you list D2 as being better...well every single one of those is basically improvements upon what was started in D1. D1 was/is a smashing great game, Sierra's addon makes it much more exciting. I just started playing again, my one char's save state was right in front of the big D himself, lol! I had saved it waiting for my g/f to be home so she could watch me beat it and I never did. I just hammered him tonight with her here, I'd beaten the game before but this was the first time with the Hellfire ending so that was pretty cool. A buddy and I used to play multi years ago on the Playstation....it wasn't much fun for him cause I was a sorceror he was a warrior. Once I started spamming that chain lightning, more often than not he was the one who ended up dead. Why did Blizzard allow for friendly fire damage anyways I still think melee chars are too weak against elemental damage even in D2. Armours should come with built in elemental DR to make melee chars tougher, and I hate equipping a big two handed maul that has a high damage rating but constantly missing....maybe I just don't know how to set up barbs properly, it's still easier to just spam fireball away than to be a melee char. Anyway, I'm back to D1 for a while, I missed the throbbing soundtrack and the haunting voice when you encounter those 'story books'. Still cool stuff even now.
to tell you the truth, i didnt like hellfire that much. it didnt have the same feeling as diablo 1. the only part i liked was that you could get apacolypse.

i played it and beat it on accident. I was in a game.. there was a portal... diablo was on the other end. Me and some guy kicked his ass, and then diablo 2 was released.. lol, fun game, D2 much better, cant wait for D3.
I was going to close this for being an extreme necro of a thread, but, well, I'm not in the mood right now.
I don't think I've ever beaten the game. I've gotten close, but then I discovered Diablo II and, well, things went from there. I keep intending to revisit it, but I just don't have the time, anymore.
Well. I have beaten it many times. Currently my signature will tell you what im playing right now

I did it many times (finished D1) b4 D2.
i had a big problem with D2, at first, i thought it was too awkward and hard to play, i quitted. yr after i came back and tried again, it still was not as fun...
then i thried again some months later, and i FINALLY learned hwo to play d2, then few years of fun!
i went back to d1, and, wow, so different, i thought it was impossible but i'm getting the hang of it again.
one thing i miss though... BOOKS OF MAGIC.
was great to have a warrior that knows his firebolt and some chain lightning.
maybe they could mix stuff on d3.
have skills, and then, some books of magic... some simple stuff.everyone should know some basic skills in magic when dealing with monsters. I miss that alot. but again, it was a big unbalanced thing.
if you started as a sorc, and had the lucky to see many bookshelves on the first 2 lvls, you would just pwn everything...
then again, i think d1 is a whole different game. d2 appeals to a broader audience, (the whole run/ slaughterfest thing) but i like it also.
d2 is much more a fun at anytime for me.
d1 is much more like chess to me.
i like both.
just wish we could have more synergies in d2 so all that useless skills have some use and i could make very wierd builds.
I've beaten and used to play that game religiously, I remember by the time I discovered it, it was somewhat aged and online play had succumbed to people using things like Boba Fetts trainer a program that would automatically make your character a LVL. 50 and would allow you to put any item in any slot, so for instance you could have Godly Plate of Whale armor (I believe that was the godliest armor of the game) for boots and headgear etc etc. Tanked mages we being used for PVP then. I also beat the game many many times single player as well....ahh...the good ol' days.
