If you are using unpatched version of Diablo (v1.00), then you could try going
back before the date of "2005/03/21 06:37:00" to avoid the patch [1].  In these,
old times Diablo1 was running quite fine.  It just needed to press Space key two
times: once to skip the intro and the second time to skip non-interactive Diablo
Logo screen and to get to Diablo Primary Menu screen.

Then if you move mouse pointer over the the Diablo animated fire (top of screen)
or hover it over the menu items, an animation starts being redrawn as the
pointer position changes.  Quite usable stuff.

Of course, by switching from one screen to another you need to redraw these
blackouts.  To do this I am switching from current workspace to the next one and
back in my BlackBox (Ctrl-Alt-Tab twice).

Need to mention, my version of the game (Spawned one) is unable to load already
created characters.  It can only to create them.

I agree this is somewhat mess, but if you apply the patch [1], things get messed
up alot more: Primary Menu isn't being drawn at all, on Character Selection Menu
there is some stuff too, which isn't being redrawn.

BTW, I have already entered similar bug.  You can try confirming it so it gets
accepted. :-)
