- saganus 10y agoI don't see D2 :( Could it be that they have country-based restrictions?
- vbezhenar 10y agoThey are selling Diablo 2 and it's a relatively modern game supporting latest Windows/macOS, you have to buy it and then you can download it.
- saganus 10y agoYeah, I thought it was too good to be true. I mean, I do have my original D2 1.0 disc... but I'm not sure it works on Windows 7 or not. I just thought this could be a re-release of sorts. Now that I think of it... Blizzard is still patching D2 apparently. No reason to give it away for free I guess.

- bdsa 10y agoYou can register your CD key with Battle.Net which puts Diablo II in your "library" for download in fully-patched installer form. It was handy for a LAN night with friends because sharing the installer around was easier and quicker than swapping discs.
- saganus 10y agoAha! This I did not know. Thank!
- PhasmaFelis 10y agoMy mistake, I was only seeing it because I'd paid for it. :( Just the other three are free.
- vbezhenar 10y agoAFAIK it's a bundled DOS emulator (DOSBox), not a real port. But it's very nice for them to make it accessible, anyway.
