Good old new Diablo returns?

In a way! Making the long story short, here is how it happened: programmer going by the nickname GalaXyHaXz has found online a bunch of tools that allowed him to analyze old Diablo 1. Thanks to them he has reverse-engineered the game, which rewarded him with the game’s source code. With source code in hand, GalaXyHaXz went to GitHub and put there a compiling, working (as long as you have proper game data files) copy of Diablo 1 that he called Devilution. Programmer has also put the game’s source code online, which means that it can not only be downloaded now, but also modded with relative ease and even ported to other platforms than Windows. We do not know what will Blizzard do about this, but knowing how protective they are of their copyrights, a hellstorm may be brewing over GalaXyHaXz’s head. Hopefully he will be alright.
