In a recent Twitter announcement, Blizzard let it be known that some classic games have found their way onto the Battle.net platform. The original Diablo, plus Warcraft: Orcs & Humans and Warcraft II: Tides of Darkness are all there; this allows us consumers to play through every title in those respective franchises from beginning to end, all in one place. You'll have to pay for the privilege, though: poking around Battle.net, it appears Diablo and Warcraft II are set at $9.99 USD, while the original Warcraft is $5.99 USD.
Something to consider is that they've been available elsewhere for some time now, such as over on GOG: Diablo, the first Warcraft, and the second game can be had for a very similar price and DRM-free. They might even go on sale, which as you may know is not an idea Blizzard itself will bother with very often.

I am all about Warcraft II! That game's special place in my heart has never been filled. I played it through an emulator a few years ago, and it was just as good as I remembered. Can't wait!!!
I still have my original diablo and starcraft cds. Still play then from time to time. Warcraft 1 and 2 were my Uncle's. Might be fun trip to replay those with him.
