Diablo is a dark fantasy-themed action role-playing game developed by Blizzard North and released by Blizzard Entertainment on November 30, 1996. Set in the fictional Kingdom of Khanduras (located in the Diablo series fantasy world of Sanctuary), Diablo has the player take control of a lone hero as he or she battles to rid the world of the eponymous Lord of Terror. Beneath the town of Tristram, the player journeys through sixteen dungeon levels to ultimately come face to face with Diablo and his demon minions. Now thanks to the work of James Beckingham we can enjoy this great game on the little screen.

This release is an initial Beta test release. All you need to do is copy the folder in the zip file onto your ppc (anywhere you like), then copy the diabloui.dll file from the Diablo CD into the ‘Diablo’ folder.

Instructions

• The game is mostly stylus controlled. Click on a monster to attack, click on a blank square to move there, etc.
• If you press the button in the middle of your keypad (or the enter key) will toggle you between attack only mode and move/attack mode. In attack mode, you will not move, you will just swing / shoot in whatever direction you click.
• Clicking on the inv / char buttons will open the inv / char screens (duh). Clicking on the inv / char buttons again will close the screens.
• When the menu screen is up (save / load / quit) clicking outside the menu section (basically anywhere except one of the options) will close the screen.
• You can only move potions into your quick item slots when in the inv screen. Clicking on the quick slots while in game will use the potion.

The developer have coded this to run under 640 x 480 as well as 320 x 240, but haven’t been able to test 640 x 480.
