Ok guys...for everyone interested, I've uploaded a small archive on my webspace containing the following files:
-The unpatched Diablo.exe from the pre-release Demo
-The patched Diablo.exe (v1.0, lets you play 4 levels and two characters)
-a couple of savegames for the pre-release demo...I think there was at least one with all spells unlocked
-two readme files from the original Diablo beta version
-the legendary exe of the Diablo beta from 1996
I really hope that someone is able to make something out of the beta exe file!
The whole archive is only 804KB small, so even 33.6 users won't have a problem dl-ing it :)
I am highly interested in -anything- that is dealing with Diablo pre-release stuff. Alpha/Beta/whatever.
Screenshots, information from exe-files, scans of pre-release versions (there are several versions with an interesting interface I saw in magazines), information about quests and so on....everything!
I've been looking for stuff related to this topic since late 1997 and there must still be things on someones HardDisk I've never heard before ;)
Of course I'm willing to share my knowledge and material about pre-release Diablo versions.
Let me know if you have anything that might be interesting for me.

Whoops...I almost forgot to post the link to the pre-release/beta file *g*
Diablo.rar
If you find anything interesting within these files, let me know!
By the way: Does someone own the first US release of Warcraft2? I was told that there are some quite interesting screenshots of a -very- old version of Diablo. I have a few of them, but I was wondering if there's more than a few screenshots. The german version of War2 contains a nice Video and some Pictures...nothing special.
Edit: Seems like I forgot a few essential files for the beta (old storm.dll,...). I've made a new file and uploaded it. Size grew to 1.022MB.
