 DiabloRL Pre-Release Demo Version (7 DAY ROGUELIKE)
=============================================================================

  Well folks, here it is -- my 7 day Roguelike. Written using GenRogue's 
Valkyrie Input/Output/GUI library. Consisting of 142KB of FreePascal source
code... have fun. And tell me if you like it -- maybe a full version of
DiabloRL will see daylight ;-).

  After death the game leaves "mortem.txt" with the info about the dead 
(or winning) character. You can post it on rec.games.roguelike.misc
newsgroup if you wish, but please add a tag stating [DiabloRL] to the
topic.

  This version is based around the Diablo Demo Pre-Release version. Some of
the functionality is still missing tough. For example you can only buy in 
shops, and there's no magic (books, spells, staves) at all. 

  There are only 4 levels of the Church to walk around, and the game ends 
when you kill the Butcher. 

  If I would (only if I get enough motivated by you ;-)) ever make a full 
version it would have:

 -- the full range of Diablo items, monsters, uniques, prefixees and spells
 -- catacombs, caves and hell -- each with a unique level generator
 -- all the original Diablo quests with the original texts
 -- all the hidden quest locations and uniques
 -- additional quests that by Blizzard that didn''t appear in Diablo
 -- full spell and missile weapon system
 -- six classes -- Warrior, Mage, Rogue, Monk, Bard and Barbarian
 -- maybe additional Hellfire content -- spells, items, quests, uniques.
 -- Programmer''s edition -- how the author himself see''s the world of Diablo
 -- proper shops, and special rooms in dungeons
