IntaglioDragon I loved this game when I was a kid, and I'd love to play it again!
EldrikElderberry Sign me up for Zeliard. I'd buy it for sure.
BenoHR Additional info for people who never played it:
Zeliard (ゼリアード, Zeriādo) is a platform-action RPG video game developed for the NEC PC-8801 by Game Arts in 1987 in Japan. Sierra On-Line was a publisher for European and North American DOS release in 1990.
From MobyGames: www.mobygames.com/game/zeliard
The ancient demon Jashiin has slept for two thousand years. When he awakens, he directs his wrath towards the kingdom of Zeliard, whose rulers of yore have allegedly harmed him. For 115 days, sand rain devastates the kingdom, turning it into a desert. To complete his cruel revenge, Jashiin turns Felicia, the princess of Zeliard, into a stone. The valiant Duke Garland sets out on a quest to vanquish the demon and restore the princess to her true form. To do that, he must collect the Nine Tears of Esmesanti, which alone can reverse the terrible curse.
Zeliard is a side-scrolling action game with platforming and role-playing elements. The game world is divided into hostile labyrinths, which occupy its largest portion and contain maze-like passages for Duke Garland to traverse, as well as enemies that must be dealt with. Crests and keys must often be collected in order to ensure the progress to the next area. Garland takes damage from enemy attacks as well as the environment (hidden spikes, high temperature, etc.), but suffers no damage should he fall off a platform.
The hero uses his sword to combat the enemies, and shield to defend himself. He can also learn and cast projectile offensive magic. Special items can restore his health, increase the damage inflicted with the sword, grant additional protection, etc. Various types of clothes can be equipped; these can bestow the hero with further enhancements and immunities, such as prevent him from slipping on ice, allow him to jump higher, etc.
The Duke will visit different towns during his journey. In these towns, he can rest, replenishing his health, purchase and repair weapons and armor, acquire potions, and learn magic spells. Currency is obtained by exchanging enemy spirits for gold in banks. These spirits (called "almas") also serve as experience points: after the player has obtained a sufficient amount of them, the protagonist receives upgrades to his health and magic points from a local town sage.

Daipop I want this game... a lot!!! please GOG, please.
Pica-Ludica This is a GOG-must!
One of my favourite games when I was a kid. It works quite well with DOSBox, but the setup process is nightmarish.
constj1029 GOG --> make it so.
MrVonClassico Yes, yes yes. GoG get this up here. Pronto!

Retodon8 Not sure who/what needs defying, but yes, GOG should add this game! The soundtrack is also a must.
CurseOfGG Love this game (obviously).
DCT defiantly needs to be here, especially if GOG keeps the setup file in so I can play it in Tandy mode
