Blizzard tend to do a good job maintaining even their oldest games, releasing patches sometimes decades after their original release. I therefore assumed that 1994’s Warcraft: Orcs And Humans and 1997’sDiablowere available via the studio’s store and launcher, Battle.net.
Not so, it turns out, because Blizzard have just announced they’ve added them today, and with working multiplayer for both.
Ablog post detailing the Warcraft releaseexplains that it features, alongside the singleplayer campaign, 21 bonus maps to play in skirmishes against the computer, and a two-player versus mode.
Asimilar post for the Diablo announcementlays out the basics of the genre-defining action RPG, including the ability to play it in four-player co-op. Both these posts also include quick start guides to provide the basic instructions for how to play, as would have been included in their original paper manuals.
Diablo is £8from the storewhile Warcraft isjust £5. For my money, the former holds up better than the latter, so the £3 extra seems worth it.
Both these games have been available via GOG for a while, withDiablo first arriving in digital form in 2019.
