I've just bought Diablo, was attracted by the multiplayer aspect, having
played Quake & Red Alert over the internet for a while.  But I am
dismayed to find that it seems the internet gameplay is dogged by
"cheating". My question is, is it worthwhile playing Diablo over the
net, or am I going to be up against  a player who has equipped
himself/herself with all sorts of impossible attributes?  Surely the
game could have been made tamperproof (Quake managed it by having the
server do all the "thinking", I'm not sure about Red Alert I think that
authenticates the code that's running).
