		Hellfire fails to provide as compelling an experience as Diablo, but does provides a good quantity of new monsters, items, spells, and settings, and a number of gameplay enhancements that eliminate a few annoyances of the original game.
		Hellfire is definitely more of the same, but that's not necessarily a bad thing, considering that Diablo was GameSpot's 1996 Game of the Year.

	The 4th Anti-Tank Regiment - Tid-Apa - Hellfire Pass
		During excavation of 'Hellfire Pass', the sound of the sledge hammers bashing against the steel taps would reverberate around the cutting, hence some Prisoners of War know it as 'Hammer and Tap' cutting.
		This laborious method of slowly chipping through the solid rock was used to drill two inch by one metre deep holes in which explosive was later packed and detonated to prize away the rock.
		Throughout the 'Hellfire Pass' cutting the rockface is still scarred by the drill holes.

		The pass is the most infamous in a series of cuttings along the Death Railway's course, and was so named because of the gaunt shadows cast by torch light as the workers dug through the night.
		Hellfire Pass took just 12 weeks to complete, the tools available were staggeringly basic; one reason why 70% of the cuttings workforce were dead by the time the job was done.
		Back in Kanchanaburi relaxing by the riverbanks, we passed many-a-day in idle bliss, swimming a little uneasily in the river - the bridge upstream a vivid reminder of its past - we soaked up the stunning beauty of the region.

		Perhaps the greatest display of Japanese brutality during the 14 months of the railway's construction came at Hellfire Pass, where about 1,000 Australian and British POWs had to cut through 533 meters (583 yards) of sheer rock to a depth of up to 20 meters (65 feet) with only primitive tools during torrential monsoon rains.
		Near them were three young Australians from their community, coming to hear their stories and see them in the place of their tragedy and triumph for perhaps the last time.
