I think it's mostly just download time. Didn't take long for me. Oh, do you mean between game areas? I didn't actually play it yet!

Yes, the load times between levels are super fast. I remember waiting for perhaps 30 seconds when playing the game on my PC in 1997. Also, I would've sworn that the shareware version included the Butcher on level 2. It doesn't...

I had a shareware version that did, and I know this for a fact because I never played the full version and still remember facing him.

Counterstrike 1.6 in the browser for those who like quick trips down memory lane: https://play-cs.com

I am instantly taken back to a time where we literally planned to lug big tower computers to my friends house just to be able to play CS 1.6 together. Thank you for sharing!

You planned to but never did?

It's kinda hard to believe that Diablo was a cRPG at some point.

Wait is it now known as something other than an RPG?

ARPG or more specifically the subgenre Hack and Slash I suppose?

Both are RPG subgenres though I'd say.

Edit: This was for D1-3, sibling makes a good point that the current incarnation might be classified as a gacha or something :-D

Planned to until Mom or Dad said what on earth are you doing with our computer.

Yeah I was only thinking of the original trilogy too.
