Diablo GB isn't that hard to believe, considering nearly every Mortal Kombat was watered down to be on Game Boy.

I think they were all rubbish ports, though. But I remember back in the day, when I was in elementary school, I was really excited to play my friend's copy on my Game Boy pocket.

How foolish I was.


Anyhoo... That doesn't look too bad for an early demo. It's always interesting to see what could have been, but never was (just like Resident Evil for Game Boy Color).

You'd break your screen if it were on the DS.

Just reading that headline made me want to play Diablo again.

Not Diablo 2, though that was certainly a hell of a fun game. Diablo. Or possibly Diablo: Hellfire. I enjoyed that expansion pack a great deal.

maybe Nintendo wouldn't have been so anti third-party from the get-go...

Damn... I think this game would have planted the seeds of my RPG-nerd-dom much earlier if I'd been able to get my hands on it.

Hah I assure you, its quite real. I apologize for the video quality on Youtube, the original video is much better, and doesnt run quite as quick, but that wonderful Youtube conversion gave you that. The Tech Demo is extremely early, and is on an official GB dev cart, along with the fact that it comes from a reputable source. And just to make it clear, my development experience consists of VB, which can in no way be used to make a GB game.

Kick ass! I love seeing things ported down to their base elements. It's a pity that similar games that were released - Gauntlet: Dark Legacy and Dark Alliance for GBA - had godawful gameplay.

it does make sense, you can not run that fast on the PC version.

By faster he means the character moves faster. In Diablo the player basically crawls across the screen. Note another reason why D2 is more popular.

I like the bit where he jumps over the wall a few seconds before the end.

If you want some Diabloesque action on GBA, check out the Lord of The Rings games (Not fellowship of course that's crap), they are exactly like Diablo.

#22 is right -- Two Towers and Return of the King are ptetty much "Diablo Lite" and are worth a play.
