Day two of my classic gaming week was spent installing and playing an old favorite of mine, "Diablo 2". Now I remember why I was so thankful when I finished playing this 2000 game from Blizzard... it killed my right mouse-clicking finger!Just going back through the first few levels had me switching between my pointer and middle finger. This was a very basic hack and slash dungeon game with a little customization thrown in. But because it was Blizzard who created the game, it had solid gameplay.
Getting D2 up on my Vista machine took a little bit of disk swaping (3 cd's) and just a tad of tweeking, but the thing that surprised me was that from the time I double clicked the icon to the time the game started the opening cinematics was four and a half minutes. I had almost forgotten that I had clicked the icon in the first place and so the opening Blizzard logo took me by surprise. So, I spent Tuesday dungeon crawling and leveling up.
Wednesday's game: Hollywood Mogul.
