My First Diablo

I was in 6th or 7th grade (2010-2012) when my dad first got me involved in the computer game “Diablo”. All I knew about the game before was that it was like an RPG (Role Playing Game). My dad was playing the 2nd “Diablo” game of the series at the time. He told me that he didn’t play the first “Diablo” because, according to him, the graphics were “too crappy”.

The Horadrim exited the chamber and sealed it, leaving Tal Rasha to wrestle with the demon lord for all eternity. They
