Blizzard Entertainment and GOG.COM have teamed up to rerelease select classic Blizzard games, beginning with Diablo®, Blizzard’s legendary 1996 action role-playing game that introduced players to the harsh—and deeply rewarding—world of Sanctuary.

The original Diablo® is available now via digital distribution for the first time ever on GOG.COM. Players looking for the authentic Diablo experience can play the game as it was in 1996, with period-appropriate 20 FPS SVGA graphics, and the ability to matchmake through the classic version of Blizzard’s Battle.net® online-gaming service.

Blizzard and GOG.COM have collaborated on an updated version of the game, which includes out-of-the-box Windows 10 compatibility, and a host of bug fixes. Players can choose either version of the game from a launcher.

13th spot now, hopping Temple of Elemental Evil

Now a day late for the NA release anniversary of Diablo 2 but the EU one would still be good for 11 hours.
It's been too damn long since the last time hell froze over - please GoG & Blizzard, can we have some more?

It took four months for Diablo to climb another spot, it's now at #12 after surpassing Arcanum: Of Steamworks and Magick Obscura.

GOG.com: Blizzard Entertainment and GOG.COM have teamed up to rerelease select classic Blizzard games
Correct me if I'm wrong but this thread is now nearly 2 years old and these select Blizzard games have only been Diablo (and Hellfire due to people wanting it.) Where are these other select Blizzard classics GOG?

Diablo, Warcraft, Warcraft 2. That's 3 games without expansions.

Edit (concerning (now deleted :-P) edit above):
That's not the impression I got. To be honest we got more than I expected. Besides, there aren't really all that many Blizzard games. The only ones that we may ever get here are Starcraft (unlikely - currently DRMed freeware), Warcraft 3 (unlikely due to current forced updates) and Diablo 2 (that's the only one that has any chance in my opinion).

But GOG made it sound like they had a deal. 3 games are not really worth mentioning (2 if you take into account this was mentioned in the Diablo release thread.)

Edit:

I deleted it as you replied and didn't reply to it. I don't even remember what I wrote so sorry.

But as you say there is Starcraft (which was unlikely) but also Lost Vikings and the free games they own and (Lost Vikings 2 which Blizzard own but is not available to buy short of Ebay.

They also own most of Activisions titles so that's a massive backlog.

I disagree here. I think 3 Blizzard games definitely are worth mentioning. When I bought boxed anthology many years ago (Diablo, Warcraft 2 BE, Starcraft + expansion) the box proudly claimed that there were 4 games there (I suppose they counted Brood War as the 4th game).

I guess there are their older titles, but I would guess that the demand for those is much lower compared to their more popular ones. Maybe Blizzard wants to keep the real oldies to themselves (especially now, when there are rumours about them being rereleased)?
Also - Activision stuff is still Activision (which has been here for a lot longer than Blizzard).

Depends on the games, and imo getting the three we did get were absolutely worth mentioning/hinting at. These releases were a big deal and extremely unexpected.

Don't get me wrong, I wish GOG could get more (even the highly-voted free titles, mainly Starcraft + Brood War), but obviously that's up to Blizzard and Activision.

Meanwhile, Diablo 2 will be getting a remaster and the three feebies (Blackthorne, Lost Vikings, Rock 'n' Roll Racing) are getting a definitive edition which is included in a 20-bucks bundle.
