Thanks to Dedicated Fans, ‘Diablo’ is Now Playable in Your Web Browser
You know that reverse-engineering of Diablo‘s source code last year? The same source code that resulted in one YouTuber creating a port of Blizzard’s classic for the Nintendo Switch?
Well, the same source code has been used again, this time by Rivsoft to allow you to play the original shareware version of Diablo in your web browser! Not only that, but if you own the original game (or the version from GOG.com), you can drag a certain file onto the browser page to access the full game.
The demo gives you access to the first two areas of the game’s dungeon (where you face off against The Butcher), and allows you to play as the Warrior.
There’s no idea on how long this version will be up, but if you’re in a pinch while waiting for Diablo 4, then why not check out this curiosity?

Sell Hot Dogs by Day, Gather Ingredients by Night in ‘Meat Grinder: Hotdog Simulator’ [Trailer]
Ultimate Games is getting in on the horror job sim genre next month with Panic Panda’s Meat Grinder: Hotdog Simulator. Launching on August 11 for PC via Steam, the open world title will also be making its way to PlayStation 5 and the Xbox Series at a later date.
Combining horror elements, grotesque humor, and retro PS1-style graphics, Meat Grinder: Hotdog Simulator has players arrive in the foggy town of Grimshore and open their own hot dog shop. Things are a real struggle to keep the business running while also securing your products.
During the day, you’ll be grilling the sausages, slicing the buns, frying up the potatoes, and doing the good entrepreneurial work your customers expect. Keep customers happy, keep the money coming, and reinvest in your growing fast food empire. At night, you’ll need to stock up on ingredients for hot dogs and other products. That involves dipping into Grimshore’s graveyard. Head out after dark, source some fresh ingredients, and get them back to the shop before opening time.
In amongst the side quests, the main plot sees you uncovering the stories of Grimshore, which the town would rather keep buried. You’ll also be digging into your own character’s past, though you may not like what you find down there.
