Diablo 1 for Web Browsers

Wow, I grew up during the mid-90s when the internet was just starting to consume the world. Diablo (Battle.net) and QuakeWorld were my jams at the time. After that came the MMORPGs of the late 90s, Ultima Online and Asheron's Call. Good times.

I was recently reading Masters of Doom and this fits right in with the vibes of that book. Incredible seeing the lasting impact of the games of that time.

I revisit Masters of Doom every year or two. I adore that book. The audiobook is fantastic, as well.

Asheron's Call was my first MMO. Played it for like 6 years before moving to WoW where all my friend's were. One thing I loved about AC is you could run from one side of the world to another without zoning(for the most part). This was pretty unique back then. Another was the skill based system. No classes. It still holds a special place in my heart.

Still need to get around to trying the server emulator but I'm on Linux.

You might like the book "Stay a while and listen" which is similar and about the making of Diablo 1.
