Though new classical roguelike variants would continue to be developed within the Western market, the genre languished as more advanced personal computers capable of improved graphics capabilities and games that utilized these features became popular.<ref>{{cite web | last=Parish | first=J | title=Nightmare of Druaga: Fushigino Dungeon (PS2) | work=[[1UP.com]] | date=February 11, 2004 | access-date=July 14, 2010 | url=http://www.1up.com/reviews/nightmare-of-druaga_2 | url-status=dead | archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20110522210006/http://www.1up.com/reviews/nightmare-of-druaga_2 | archive-date=May 22, 2011 | df=mdy-all }}</ref> However, some of these new graphical games drew influence for roguelike concepts, notably [[action role-playing game]]s like [[Blizzard Entertainment]]'s ''[[Diablo (video game)|Diablo]]'' (1996). ''Diablo''{{'}}s creator, [[David Brevik]], acknowledged that games like ''Rogue'', ''NetHack'', ''[[Telengard]]'' and other roguelikes influenced the design of ''Diablo'', including the nature of randomly generated dungeons and loot.<ref>{{cite web |url=http://www.salon.com/2000/01/27/nethack/ |title=The best game ever – Linux |work=[[Salon (magazine)|Salon]] |date=January 27, 2000 |access-date=May 28, 2012 |archive-date=April 29, 2012 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20120429115242/http://www.salon.com/2000/01/27/nethack/ |url-status=live }}</ref><ref>{{cite web | url = https://www.gamedeveloper.com/design/20-years-later-david-brevik-shares-the-story-of-making-i-diablo-i- | title = 20 years later, David Brevik shares the story of making Diablo | first = Alex | last = Wawro | date = March 18, 2016 | access-date = March 18, 2016 | work=[[Game Developer (website)|Game Developer]] | archive-date = March 19, 2016 | archive-url = https://web.archive.org/web/20160319152638/http://www.gamasutra.com/view/news/268507/20_years_later_David_Brevik_shares_the_story_of_making_Diablo.php | url-status = live }}</ref>
