Explore the realms of gaming from the comfort of your Chromebook by immersing yourself in the captivating world of Diablo Immortal. Don’t wait any longer, indulge in the original version of the game instantly through your web browser.
As the calendar flips to June 1st, 2020, a world of endless possibilities unfolds before us.
Despite the overwhelming criticism surrounding Diablo Immortal’s debut at Blizzcon 2018 (remember the infamous “Do YoU gUyS nOt HaVe PhOnEs?” Moment?), We firmly believe in giving it a fair shot. With the inclusion of keyboard and mouse support, this game could potentially find its perfect abode in the realm of Chromebooks, transforming them into fully functional personal computers. But let’s save that discussion for another occasion. In the meantime, if you’re eagerly anticipating Diablo Immortal like I am, why not indulge in the original Diablo? Surprisingly, you can experience it directly through your web browser!
Diablo, a riveting action-packed game, emerged in 1997, entrusting players with the exhilarating task of guiding a solitary hero in an epic battle against Diablo, the fearsome embodiment of terror. Venturing beneath the quaint town of Tristram, adventurers must conquer sixteen dynamically crafted dungeons before venturing into the depths of hell itself to vanquish the diabolical Diablo. A true gaming gem that aligns perfectly with my preferences!
Rivsoft has developed a web-based portal exclusively for the Warrior class. However, access is limited to only the first two levels of the dungeon and a select group of NPCs. Unless you possess an original copy of the game, the rest of the content remains inaccessible. Fortunately, if you do own the game, you can unlock everything by simply dragging and dropping the DIABDAT.MPQ file. For those without a licensed copy, GOG offers the option to purchase one, which includes the ‘Hellfire’ expansion pack. Since you are using a Chromebook, extracting the MPQ file will require your bravery to navigate the Linux terminal. Perhaps our esteemed Linux expert, Gabe, will create a comprehensive tutorial on this topic in the near future.
Discovering that it thrives with a mouse rather than a touch screen, maneuvering the character in this Chromebook adventure necessitates pressing and clicking the touchpad, irrespective of the tap to click setting.
