With the Lord of Destruction expansion the game doesn't end when you 
kill Diablo, so you can definitely save it there!

Unfortunately those are crossposts from another group courtesy of a mass 
post-flooding troll.

Not in single player, I don't think. I haven't played single player since 
about 1997 though, so I'm not certain. Play it multiplayer, and you can go 
on to further difficulty levels. There's a workaround for that in single 
player too, but I only vaguely remember how it works--start a multiplayer 
game, then cancel out and start a single player game and you have the 
option of playing nightmare or hell modes or something like that.  Google 
is your friend ;).

Best,
     Mark.

Original Diablo's expansion pack was called Hellfire ;)

First you had to get a multiplayer character up to whatever difficulty
you wanted to play your single player in, and start a multiplayer game
in that difficulty.  Then you exited back to the screen where you
could choose single player and chose that.  Then you started a new
game.  It never gave you any options to select a difficulty, but the
game would effectively be in whatever difficulty you'd just come from
in the multiplayer game.  Great way to level up a new single player
sorc.  Just make it think it's a hell difficulty game and for the
first few kills you'd be getting a level up or so for each kill you
made. ; )
(I suggest a sorc, though a rogue might work too, but I suspect a
warrior would just get flattened as soon as they got into melee range
with the mobs)

Actually, you can, but only have a fraction of a second to do it in.
I've managed it a couple times, but it's no big deal if you don't,
IIRC D himself doesn't give you much in the way of experience points.
