Diablo

When it was released Diablo had the allure of looking like it had nicked all the best bits of other games (a dream interface and decent graphics) and honed them to near perfection, or watered them down, depending on your opinion.

Unfortunately, it didn't offer many surprises, but instead worked on our instinct to desire, bigger, better and shinier stuff. Whether you played as a warrior, rogue or sorcerer the premise was simple: run around and twat everything that looks at you funny. Classic stuff.
