Line 6: ''Note: This page is for the first two games. [[Diablo III]] has its own page.'' A [[Hack and Slash]] ~~game~~videogame series from [[Blizzard Entertainment]]. Notorious for having [[Play the Game Skip the Story\|an elaborate backstory and plot that nobody ever follows]] concerning a war between [[Heaven and Hell]]. As a sort of simple graphical [[Roguelike]], [[Random Drop\|the pursuit of the]] [[Rare Random Drop\|perfect randomly-generated equipment]] and [[Level Grinding\|character build]] to satisfy one's inner [[Munchkin]] gives the game tremendous replayability. The first game was essentially a huge dungeon crawl, consisting of 16 levels of increasing difficulty under Tristram, the only town in the game, where various NPCs provide you with quests, healing, and equipment. The goal was to get to the [[Big Bad]], Diablo, in [[The Very Definitely Final Dungeon]]. The non-canonical third-party expansion pack ''Hellfire'' added eight new separate levels, four new quests (a quest to kill another Diablo-esque baddy in the crypt near the church, [[Lighter and Softer\|a quest from Lester the farmer, a cow quest and a quest to retrieve a teddy bear]]) as well as three more characters (Monk, Bard and Barbarian) in addition to the original three ([[Fighter, Mage, Thief\|Warrior, Rogue and Sorcerer]]), but you had to enter a special edit to a text file to get the last two of those quests and new characters.
