Pre-ablo is a mod based on Blizzard’s early Diablo demo from August 1996, originally released as a promotional shareware build. The original demo was intentionally limited to the Warrior class and the first cathedral level, but these restrictions are easy to bypass—unlocking access to a near-complete version of the game as it existed four months before release.
This mod addresses two major issues that arise when playing the unrestricted version: missing graphics (such as character and monster animations, and level tilesets) and frequent crashes. It aims to fix these problems while preserving the authentic feel of the Pre-Release Demo.
Bugs from the original build have been intentionally left in when they don't break the experience, in order to stay true to the state of the game during its development.
