Diablo (Freeablo)

Game: Diablo → (Windows, 1996)

Freeablo: a modern, cross-platform reimplementation of the Diablo engine, played with the original game’s data files. You can walk around town, with its animated characters and dialogue, go down through generated dungeons on every level, fight in melee (with limited ranged combat and magic), pick up monster loot, buy from and sell to Griswold, level up, save and load, and play multiplayer. The code after the latest release adds magic item generation, potions, healing at Pepin, the Town Portal spell, and mouse wheel zoom. Its author archived it on April 13, 2023, having lost motivation on seeing the progress of the Devilution team, who got to the finish first. The latest release is 0.4 (March 6, 2020), for Windows, Linux, and macOS.

You needDIABDAT.MPQ and Diablo.exe from your own copy of Diablo, patched to 1.09; the GOG release works too. Plus Windows, Linux, or macOS.
