Zeliard - DOS PC Game Review - Lazy Game Reviews

Action platform games for DOS weren't exactly too common before Epic and Apogee. Imagine my surprise when I found Zeliard from Sierra, developed in '87 by Game Arts! Zeliard... get into it.

Zeliard for MS-DOS PCs, played on a Tandy 1000 RL/HD

[MrMinecrafterEXTreme]

when you say ANY computer, will it work on a jr?

[phreakindee]

@MrMinecrafterEXTreme I said "practically any computer", and was referring to MS-DOS IBM PC-compatibles. So no, the PCjr won't run it that I know of. It would need 640k RAM and a Tandy mod, and in that case you may as well just use a Tandy.

To be almost exactly technical, the music uses very distinct sounds that you can hear on the Game Gear and Sega Master System.

[phreakindee]

@sompret Probably because the Tandy uses nearly the exact same sound chip as the SMS/GG!

[Jerry93cs]

Really awesome work there, nice videos and reviews =D

And I like the opening song, whats it called? And again nice work!

[phreakindee]

@Jerry93cs It's something I put together using samples of an Atari 8-bit track titled "Vaxeen 4U"

[Pozorrogo]

This actually reminds me of Castlevania in a way, the action/rpg aspect of it

GOLDS FTW

[MegamanAbridged]

i've never wanted to play a DOS game more then after seeing this review, (and i'm a console gamer) good job sir

[EnigmaHood]

Same guys who made Grandia and Lunar, made this. Amazing.

[Pai3000]

@Foxhack

Yup. Malicia means wickedness, muralla means wall, peligro means danger... I´m pretty sure that there are much more.

Nice review BTW! The game reminds me a lot of Ys III

[chriskallen1]

I've always liked collecting golds. Especially when it gives me a lot of point.

[BrianPicchi]

New years resolution: To get a PC-8801!

[360deeman]

@Phreakindee Ever heard of Faxanadu? This game has alot in common, even using GOLDS and coming out in 1987.

[rockerzac99]

It has all the things you mentioned, PLUS GOLDS

[wrongfire]

Ill buy this when I have enough golds!

[TeamRocketReviews]

@phreakindee Exactly the same sound chip as the Atari ST, Amstrad CPC, ZX Spectrum 128K, Sega Master System, and MSX.
