Diablo is the first I remember. So is there something older than 1998?

Online searches also indicate that Diablo II was the first to do this.

Hmm, doesn’t Magic: The Gathering (the card game) do that? Not the same genre, and originally a physical card game, but several years earlier…

I remember it from Diablo. Magic the gathering never did that back then.
