The only weird stuff is on the menu screen when I'm selecting menu items the menu super imposes itself on the next screen making it so I have to wave my mouse pointer around to erase the previous menu from the current one... haven't experienced this kind of issue since Windows 95/98 lol... I'm sure there are compatibility issues that just haven't ambushed me yet and all I did was walk around town, talk to some NPC's and go down to the first dungeon level. No crashing once I was in game, it did crash out of the menu a few times though.

There's A LOT of information in this thread... I do want to install the custom Hellfire patches eventually... any tips for a Windows 10 user would be much appreciated...
I did some testing today on my windows 10 machine, and I updated the main post for windows 10 compatibility. Let me know how it works for you.

I also updated the Linux compatibility sections slightly.

TODO:
1) new mirror links for all the files here.
2) Add the "Virtual Machine" method of running Diablo to this guide.

I can see what you see not
Vision milky, then eyes rot
When you turn they will be gone
Whispering their hidden song
Then you see what cannot be
Shadows move where light should be
Out of darkness, out of mind
Cast down into the halls of the blind
