From what I understand Diablo II is a huge game and you would be better off buying the disc retail IMO. Download.com has additions to it from what I can see. I don't know if they have the full version or not, you would have to search it. No matter what sort of games you download, you've got to see what is said about each one. Some are demo's, some are retail editions, some are free, some are add-ons. They are all different, you got to read a little about each one.
I'm interested in the Diablo II game downloads, but I don't know what I need to download to get started. Are these additions to a game I hafta buy retail or is the full game listed? What else might I need to play it that I can possibly get from download.com
