The long awaited Diablo episode is nearly here but first you have to go to school! We can't talk about the game without giving some context on how an idea sprouted a multi-million dollar franchise that persists today. The history behind Diablo is fascinating and happened by chance.

91 - Castle of Illusion Starring Mickey Mouse
Main Quest Podcast
Don't be confused, this episode does not star Mickey Mouse but I will be talking about the first game in the Illusion series!What was platforming like on the Genesis in a world without Sonic? Turns out - a little better than you would think. And with all the money put in the right spot, could Mickey have been poised as the mascot for the 16-bit console??
