	Thanks for downloading this interesting file.
	It has been months in the making and with the recent
	addition of the Hellfire missing items and the pre-release
	demo missing items, ALL versions of Diablo are now covered.


  This picture includes all of the fantastic graphics that has left out of the
various releases of Diablo. Some of the spells or items may look familiar to
veteran Diablo fans out there, such as the hacked Lightforge Helm graphic or
the Blood Boil spell from the pre-release Diablo game, which happily makes a
reappearance in a different form with a hidden Barbarian character to Sierra's
expansion pack Hellfire.

  The reason I created this file is first and foremost because of all the fun
I've gotten from Diablo, been playing for over a year now off and on but also
because of the growing list of "things" left out of Diablo for one reason or
another. We've all heard the reasons from Blizzard -- from unbalanced gameplay
to insufficent time to work out all the bugs. The later being primarily the
reason for these "things" being left out. There were fantastic quests and NPCs
left out of the subsequent releases including the Fallen Angel Quest Azazel who
weilded the heavenly blade Azurewrath. Also the Priest Tremain (he was supposed
to give you a mace called Lightforge upon completion of a certain quest) talked
about an unholy blade Shadowfang. Both of the swords graphics I've included,
too bad they aren't anywhere to be found in the final release of Diablo. Also
for those interested I have not included items (from the pre-release demo that
is) that were just transfered to the shareware and retail version and only
changed slightly (books, helms, potions) but the real interesting ones like the
Rune Mask etc.

  I have also included the missing items from Hellfire, the offical expansion
for Diablo. Yes, there are many items missing from the expansion pack itself!
However as of this writing 1-16-98 there may be some rings that appear in this
graphics complilation that have not yet been found. New uniques are sometimes
hard to find in Hellfire ;) (Also for those saying: "What about the picture on
the back of the Hellfire box?" -- well, the picture IS incorrect. Sierra has
stated "their artists got a little carried away". So all of those items do not
appear in the game nor they are hidden on the CD, they were only created by the
artists.)
 
  I now believe I have shown all of the missing items and spells in all Diablo
versions. These graphics really are INCREDIBLE and the folks at Blizzard and
Sierra really deserve some more applause for there great game, just wish they
would of included these missing items or not allowed us to find them, in this
case ignorance really is bliss.

  Thanks again to Blizzard for a great game (can't wait for Diablo 2), the gang
at Sierra for making a good expansion pack. Also to Telamon for his CEL viewer,
