I think in the entirety of ever playing Diablo 1, I've only come across 3 or 4 pieces of "cursed" equipment. I found even fewer of the unique items. Years later, I managed to get myself a trainer, some hacks, and enjoyed watching enemies be "persuaded" to drop whatever equipment they were carrying thanks to Megadrops. Wirt is much more of an rear end in a top hat than you gave him credit for. There's a particular piece of armor widely considered "best in slot" for every class, the Godly Plate of the Whale. A 'perfect' one has a 200% armor bonus, and +100 HP, on top of being a Full Plate Mail with the highest-possible AC value (75). This armor is only generated at an obscenely-high item rank, and that means the game will never allow one to drop from monsters, regardless of difficulty or what you're killing. It's simply too highly-ranked. Enter Wirt, who routinely sells items significantly higher than the item level. He can, on extremely rare occasions, have a Godly Plate of the Whale for sale. This would be the only way to get one 'legit'...except for one thing. You can only carry so much gold, and the item generated at a substantially higher price than any character could carry. So the item is buyable, but you can't carry enough gold to buy it. Ever. Anyone wearing that armor had it cheated in somehow, but this was a relatively moot point when almost everyone was cheating in some manner. There's several other items unattainable due to item-quality levels, or due to cut quests. Of course, you'd see them all the time anyway when playing online. Anyone who knows anything about online play in Diablo 1 can tell you all about King's Swords of Haste/Heavens, Obsidian Rings/Amulets of Zodiac, Lightforge helmets, Arch-Angel's Staff of Apocalypse, the aforementioned plate, among many, many others. Considering this run, everything I just posted is completely irrelevant, but interesting nonetheless. I'm rather curious to how bad the cursed items can be, so I look forward to seeing you fully kitted-out in cursed gear.
