''[[Zeliard]]'' is a [[Metroidvania]]-style adventure game by [[Game Arts]], considered to be one of their better pre-''[[Lunar]]'' titles. Like [[Game Arts]]' earlier titles ''[[Thexder]]'' and ''Silpheed'', it was originally released in Japan on the [[PC 88]] and brought to western shores by [[Sierra]].
The game takes place [[Exty Years From Now|two thousand years after]] a [[Cosmic Horror]] known as Jashiin was [[Sealed Evil in a Can|sealed away]] by the nine Tears Of Esmesanti, after causing much havoc upon the world and claiming it for his own. After the self-proclaimed "Emperor of Chaos" somehow breaks free from his prison, he causes an extremely long sandstorm (it was raining sand, actually) that severely damages the beautiful landscape and [[Taken for Granite|turns Princess Felicia la Felishika to stone]], simply as an act of revenge against the descendants of those who imprisoned him. Duke Garland, guided by the Guardian Spirit and appointed by King Felishika, sets forth to reclaim the holy crystals and finish off Jashiin and end his reign of terror. There is a [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UJHDgHKciew video review], for those who'd like to know more.

* [[Adam Smith Hates Your Guts]]: Inverted, since the price tag for most items actually decreases as you progress.
* [[All There in the Manual]]: The game includes a (black-and-white) map of every dungeon in the game, even identifying such features as invisible air currents and fake walls on the map. This doesn't make it any easier to navigate them, however.
