Re-discovering Diablo II because of D2MultiRes

Some of you know I'm kind of a videogame nerd.  But recently my nerditry reached new hieghts when my brother talked me into playing Diablo 2 again.  He gave me the install CDs and I was pumped up - well I was until I first started up the game. 

To my dismay it wouldn't run~!

I was left with a blank screen because my monitor (a 21" NEC Multisync) couldn't handle the Default 640x480 resolution because it was too damned small!!!

I began scouring the internets for a solution and soon came across this:

The results were spectacular.  I was able to kick up the resolution to whatever I wished and after about 24 hours am now the happy owner of a lvl 24 soceress

Here are some sample screen shots

800x600 (640x480 default but 800x600 is available in the regular game I found out)

1024x768 - It's what I use because anything higher and you really start to notice the blank square sprites around the edge of the screen and it becomes obvious that the game wasn't designed for this kind of resolution

And Finally 1280x1024 - Just to let the program flex it's stuff.  A host of other resolutions are possible (widescreen included) but I have a regular old CRT monitor so no widescreen here.
