Whoever it is that is wanting to update the HOWTO for the Diablo 2
appdb please email me. I don't have my email address on there for
nothing. For whatever reason, I can't see who changes things nor does
the appdb email me on changes anymore.
Quote from new HOWTO note.
THIS IS A DUPLICATE ENTRY.

What about a checklist of problems it doesn't have, and basing the rating on

Something like:

(_) Preinstalled on Windows.

I dislike the idea of adding even more rating levels
