They Create Worlds

TCW Podcast Episode 219 - Diablo 1   We explore the monumental game Diablo! Initially a collaborative effort between David Brevik, Erich Schaefer, and Max Schaefer, Diablo brought together elements from games like X-Com, Angband, and surprisingly NHL '94. The trio formed the company Condor, producing NFL games and a Street Fighter clone called Justice League Task Force for the SEGA Genesis. At CES, they discovered another company developing the SNES port of Justice League, Blizzard Entertainment. Through a series of fortuitous events, Condor was acquired by Davidson & Associates and rebranded as Blizzard North. Join us as we explore the wild history of Diablo and its impact on shaping how we play video games today!   Play Diabo 1 Web Shareware Version: https://d07riv.github.io/diabloweb/   It was the best of times it was the blurst of times: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=no_elVGGgW8 Moria (Plato Emulator): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_zvqgKKXAFI Angband: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nSiX_aoUn5s S
