Couldn’t agree more. But they were actually Condor Games before blizzard took over. Then they became Blizzard North for D2 and then finally parted ways and had to watch Blizzard bastardise D3 and D4.

Wow! You did a phenomenally good service to the fans of this game. During a time when computer games were in their experimental years, and many of us were just discovering some of the best creative original masterpieces, like diablo, Warcraft, StarCraft, half life, counterstrike, and the explosion of online gaming popularity , hearing musical composition from those era entertainment really brings me back to a feeling of the awe and wonderment of playing for the first time some games that would later be some of rhe best times of my life. Thank you, during these crazy times even a little respite from all that's going on is a treasure that I appreciate whole heartedly. Simply fantastic, I am going to explore wat other treasure you might have . Good day !😊

Sigh so many goosebumps and memories. Tristram is one on my all time favorite VG songs and I've been at it since like I think 1989🤭. There's something both haunting and soothing to it and I love it.

The melody is so clean, so simple, yet so powerful filled with feelings of melancholy and despair. I knew it was a great song but not that great! 25+ years and is awesome in so many levels. Thank you for this time travel when things were simpler.

Deckard Cain will forever be one of the most memorable NPCs for me and this is his theme. D2 was what got me into gaming back then I used to go to a school friend where we connected a bunch of old pcs together with Ethernet cables and had to insert each others ips just so we could play together offline via lan. Complicated af but this and heavily modded Warcraft 3 were my first experience with gaming and are the reason I first fell in love with it

Blizzard created true magic back then. The first moment I popped into the Rogues' camp and heard THAT music, and saw all the atmospheric touches like rain falling and little chickens running around and the campfire crackling, that was it. I was home. 🗡️🛡️🏹🧤💰🪄⭕👹

they probably started out like most studios gamers themselves in love with the craft but once a lot of money gets involved arrogance and greed often follows. They fell out of touch with their audience as best shown by their Diablo immortal presentation or when they denied wow classic. It’s like the saying goes either you die a hero or live long enough to see yourself become the villain

Hey everyone! Tabs are now available on my Patreon page*. *In this arrangement I switch betweeen Seven- and Twelve-Strings guitars to play particular parts, but it's still closer to solo arrangement rather than duo. That's why I picked the best parts and merged them into a solo (playable!) tablature.

My earliest memories were of Diablo, and hand-made swords I carved from boards and branches in the backyard. I always knew I’d grow up to be classified as a warrior, but even still I have learned to temper myself with compassion. A storm, subtle and strong, just as this nostalgic tune. I am 23 now and still cannot shake the themes this song dances with as part of my overall character. Blizzard may have gone down the poop chute recently along with activision and their legal troubles but at least this is from a time before all of that. One can only dream of returning to such innocence.
