Revisiting classic Tristram

Elder son is done with his primary school exams, and I thought it's time for him to play some real game instead of all those craps he is playing.

Time for him to play Diablo.

The classic to start with, perhaps Diablo II later, but most likely not Diablo III since that's online only.

first unique item! Though not useful for a sorcerer

While I have a genuine copy of Diablo, the computer he uses is a NUC without a CD player, so I went through the trouble of getting the game to work for him.

Blizzard should really provide some legit solution for playing this classic game on modern computer without CD player, instead of all the third party hacks and tweaks that I need to use.

Oh well.

It's working and he is a happy gamer. =)

first unique monster encountered

Since my World of Warcraft subscription has ended, I decided to indulge myself replaying this classic as well.

So I can answer his barrage of questions better as well, hehe. =P

I am still not impressed

I have always been more inclined towards intelligence and dexterity based character in role playing game instead of strength based, more like the real me I suppose.

So I created a sorcerer and delved right in!

ooh! Useful unique item for a sorcerer!

Love the ambient, the feel, the pace of the game.

Perhaps it's Warcraft for the others, but for me, this is the game that solidified Blizzard position in my heart.

may the spirit of Arkaine protect me

Nostalgia aside, I am really enjoying the game.

Will play through with rogue and warrior as well, and also to play on higher difficulties.

cursed item, keeping in case I want to play a Beyond Naked Mage

So, there are two happy gamers in the house now, hehe!

this unique item's name is the inspiration for my first online RPG alias
