Collector note

First NA printing includes original Diablo. No Diablo paper manual in the Battle Chest (PDF manuals on discs). Later NA reprints (XP/Vista-era) drop Diablo 1. German Battle Chest omitted Diablo 1 and shipped separate Prima guides + soundtrack. Tall/wide/small box formats existed with the same core contents. Some US copies reportedly included Tales of Sanctuary — treat as optional insert, not guaranteed.
