Playing Original Diablo 1 on a 1920x1200 monitor
While mostly annoyances, these issues are a detriment to fully enjoying the game. You can, of course, change the resolution of even a modern monitor to run at 640x480, but doing so resizes all your other windows, messes up your icon placement, and simply doesn't look very good. It was designed to run on a 640x480 monitor, which was standard when the game released, but is just a tiny portion of a modern, high-resolution screen.
The main technical issue with playing Diablo is the game's resolution. We will first look at how the GOG release works for Diablo and Hellfire, then we will get into many of the different mods available. While this version lets you play the original game and the Hellfire expansion easily on a modern system, there are plenty of unofficial mods that add many modern conveniences, restore unfinished content or add new content entirely, including an open-source version of the engine. Thankfully, these are easily rectified with the GOG re-release. As such, running it on modern computers presents a few difficulties. The original Diablo game was released all the way back in 1996.
