Top 100 Shows To See (60-51)



60. The Legend of Zelda
Well, Excuuuse Me Princess! It would be difficult to not incluuude this crappy video game classic. Please, just accept this one. It does have its great moments though and the catchphrase really does get to you eventually.
59. Black Cat
A story about an assassin who breaks the mold placed on him by a secretive organization. Unlike Phantom: Requiem for the Phantom, this series is less realistic but a whole lot happier. It’s a good watch.


58. Breaking Bad
The worst thing about this show is probably the way everyone in the show condemns Walter without even caring to listen to half a reason. I think it highlights a lot of what’s wrong with the world today and it isn’t the meth. Overall it’s a cool show and probably the best show I’ve seen that takes place in modern times.
57. Claymore
Demons being killed by half-demon warriors. Fun and guts everywhere.  It actually has a nice plotline. Some interesting concepts, but it’s mostly on this list simply for being enjoyable and encouraging thought. All the swordfighting and the medieval setting are just great.
56. Family Guy
This show is basically a plagiarism of the Simpsons that relies on cutscene parodies for comedy rather than focusing on the direct plotline for much of its comedy. The best part of the show is probably the interactions between Stewie and Brian, but the fatman is pretty funny too. Overall, the show is memorable.
55. American Dad
A CIA agent with a crackfiend alien living in his attic makes for an interesting sitcom where death happens often. This show is more morbid than the others in the Family Guy universe, and it’s that little bit of extra darkness that makes it so much more interesting.
54. Sherlock Holmes (1958)
This is probably the best Sherlock version that isn’t a modern retelling. For any Sherlock Holmes fan, this should be a must watch. It is humorous and quite clever, unlike this list.
53. Last Exile
The cool thing about this show is that it is about flying. How many shows revolve so much around flying? Not enough. The aerial battles are spectacular and the plot is great although a tad confusing. It is definitely worth watching a second time.Add caption
52. Naruto
Not to be confused with Naruto: Shippuden. Despite what some might say… this show is neither the greatest thing in the world or the worst. The most annoying thing about this show is the way it interrupts the battles with the internal battle the characters must overcome to win… as well as the large amount flashbacks. Nevertheless, it’s great.
51. Fullmetal Alchemist
This is the first of two different Fullmetal Alchemist animes that basically tell the same story differently. This one is less accurate to the manga and has far more filler. That being said, this anime is an emotional rollercoaster. The depth of the characters is astonishing.

########Legend of Eloria########

You can download the game from here:
http://silvrelgames.blogspot.com/2013/11/completed-game-list.html



------------------------------------------------
spoiler alert
------------------------------------------------



Prologue:
Choose your difficulty. I suggest at least trying Normal level so that you can unlock the Bonus Game. This short walkthrough is written for the insane difficulty. I highly suggest you don't use this guide as it could kill the fun. After the talking, go and leave the temple.Try not to be spotted by the demons running around and try to make your way south to the red roofed house. If you are attacked, use the A button to punch the demon. Don't panic, you can kill the demon while being weaponless. You will find a club in the red roofed house. To get into the chest you will need to punch it twice to break it open. Remember to press Z to search the chest after you open it, this will be standard protocol for most chests throughout the game. After you open the chest, equip the club by using X to view the menu. The menu is a typical RPG style menu, so simply go to where it says "Equipment" and equip the club. Now, kill the demon in the house. Loot it's body by pressing Z over it.Kill and loot all the other demons. When you start to run low on health you can enter the yellow roofed house to get healed and to get a potion. You can only get healed in there once so use it wisely. Remember that you are healed whenever you level up. You can find another potion in a chest to the northeast. One of the demons will also drop a potion after it is killed. Once you have killed and looted all 10 demons, go and talk to the village elder in the temple. He is the guy who spoke to you previously. He will tell you to talk tto the lady directly north of him to get healed. Talk to her and get healed. Now go to the star where you first appeared. If you hit Z while standing there, you will be able to save your game. Now talk to the village elder again. He will explain some stuff and your journey can now fully begin.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Chapter 1: Finding Your Way.
(This is optional but very highly suggested)
Leave the town by going south. You will find yourself in the forest. Try to avoid the slime at the moment because they are resistant to physical attacks. Head to the west and then south and then west again. If you cross water, you are going the wrong way. If find a waterfall, go north and west. When you enter the next area, follow the path west and then north to arrive at a town. Save at the hexegram. Explore the town, there are chests with little bits of  gold that will be helpful at this point and there is a bronze sword in the Inn. At the far bottom right portion of the town, you can buy your first spell. Equip it with D and you may use S to cast it. If you are injured heal at the inn and visit the store if you desire to purchase some items.  Finally go into the house with the blue roof and talk to the guy in there. Leave town and head south as soon as you can until you get to a waterfall. The monsters here respawn constantly unless you can disable the two crystals. Continue following the path down and to the west until you find a cave. Save at the hexegram, it will heal you. In the cave, head to the far right corner, until you find an iron sword in a chest. Leave and heal at the save point. Now head to the far left corner to reach the stairs to the next floor. Head to the far right, up, the far left, and then up to reach the boss. Just beyond the boss is two
-------------------------------------------------------------
Chapter 2: The Port and Ice Cave
Leave the cave and heal when you need it. When you are done, head towards the ruins, but veer to the right. From the ruins, head south (as if you are headed to the forest town), but take the first turn to the right and cross the little bridge. From the bridge head down and right, until you leave the area to a large river. There is a switch you'll need to cast Fireball on. Head onward to find another dungeon. Don't bother with it yet (unless you want to). Take the left path, and go forward as far as you can go, go to the right and take the first path to right and go as far to the right as you can go. Head up as far as you can go to leave the area, follow the path to the right and then as soon as you reach the next area, RUN down until you reach the port.
Welcome to a new town. Find information at the pub and church. Get a new spell from the witch at the well. Go shopping and look for chests. The stores here allow you to sell your junk.
When you're done, just charter a ship at the docks to take you to the next dungeon. Just walk north from the dock to a cave. Enter the cave and follow the path. Head right at the next intersection. Take either path, but head north until you get to a long highway and continue following the path until you reach a rope down to the ice labrynth. Head north and to the left and go down the stairs. Head north until you see double hallways, go up one and go to the left to reach a save point. Go back to large room you came from and head to the right. Grab the chest in the far bottom right corner, head back to the large room and head south to another staircase. Take a left and south to another to a staicase, grab the chests along the way. Head straight north and up another staircase.
Follow the hallway to the first exit north. You should have enough money now, 1600 Eclipsi. Another 1000 Eclipsi would be helpful. Buy the Wind Sword and head back to the save point in the dungeon. Head to the right to the staircase and follow the path to the final floor. Go to the right and left paths to grab the chests, go back and save or heal with items. Finally go up the center path to the boss battle.
The Boss can be beaten by systematically destroying the two sets of crystals. I suggest running and hitting each crystal twice with tornado before veering off two the next corner.
Now leave the dungeon and head back to the port.
--------------------------------------------------------------------
Chapter 3: The Tree and the Wind
Head to the dungeon you passed through to get to the port town. Take the first path north and go up the vines. Run to the right and then to the north and go up that vine. Head around to the left all the way until you are at the southern edge of the wall and head north. Follow that path. Save at the save point. Continue following the path and climb up to the final room. Beat the boss and return to the ruins. Grab a new spell, check out the store. Grab antidotes (unless your playing on easy level.) I might also note that there is a ton of treasures in the tree and you might want them. The store is in the place where you got the club in the prologue. By a mithril sword and equip it if you can, but you probably won't be able to. Don't worry about it at the moment.
---------------------------------------------------------------------
Chapter 4: Deserts
Leave through the west exit at the ruins to a swamp. There is a high likelyhood you will be poisoned while crossing the swamp. Try not to walk in the swamp itself. Ignore the enemies. Run for the south exit and once you get there use an antidote. About the poison... the damage will not immediately appear on the HUD, so be careful and check your menu often to update the damage.
You'll find yourself at an oasis and you may see an new enemy. Continue south and then west until you reach a mine. Enter it. Ignore the enemies. Go west and north avoiding the enemies if you can. Go down the stairs. You'll immediately face an enemy. Kill it with magic. Go north and then east at the first opportunity and cross the large room. Run across the room to the other side where there will be a savepoint/healing point. Now massacre everything in the room and take the treasure. Heal when you need to. There are some chests lying around. Explore the level to get them using this healing point as your access. The boss is on the floor beneath you. If you are level 10, you should be able to beat her. There is a fake chest here on the first floor, so be careful. When you are done here, I suggest going back to the ruins to buy the mithral sword and restock supplies and then head back to the oasis and head west again.
---------------------------------------------------------
Chapter 5: The Volcano
Follow these coordinates in the desert to reach the volcano: West, South, North, West. Save by the dragon statue.This dungeon utilizes some puzzles, so be wary.. In the cave go north and to the west to hit a switch and get a chest. Then head to the east to a large room to hit another switch. Take the bottomost stairs down into a large island in the middle of some lava. The gate should be down. Go north and up the stairs follow the path and go back down the stairs. Now follow the path until you can take a u-turn to a healing hex and another switch... might as well save. The Will-O-Wisp is immune to physical attacks. There is a fire-sword here that is valuable and can replace the windsword if you haven't already upgraded to the mithril. It also increases resistance to magic. Head to the far west to hit another switch. Go back east and catch the first staircase back up to the first floor. Head back out the dungeon to heal again, re-enter, head west, north, and back down to the second floor. Head south and hit the switch. Continue on and there should be another gate that's down that you can go through. Grab chests, hit switch head back out. Re-enter, go through the uppermost staircase in the large room. Follow the path down to the final floor. Go north to face the boss. When you are done, head to the port town. Go into the weapons shop and talk to the Smith. If you have collected all the necessary agreement, he will make the Mystic Sword! Stock up on items and head back to the oasis.
---------------------------------------------------------------
Chapter 6: The Necromancer's Castle
Enter the desert. Go North, South, West, South, North. You are now at the final dungeon. The mystic sword is required to enter it. Careful. The miasma in this final dungeon can cause poison. Head to the east and north kill the mob and open the chest. Take the key, head back, go and save. If you need to, take multiple trips.
Head back west and down for the first stair up. Take it up and go west to another stair up and head down to the outside again. Heal and save. Kill wisps, open chest. Don't touch the wisps, they are invisible. Equip the shield. Now go back in and head west to gain another key. Now either:
1.    Leave the dungeon. heal. save. re-enter. Head west hugging the bottom wall, head north. Kill the mob. Head east and down the stairs. and talk to the girl in the cage to get an amulet. You will need to go back and grab the other switches and the armours in the next step. The amulet just makes it a bit easier although the path is more redundant.
2.    or continue onward to the mini-boss. If you want to hit the miniboss now, go south and follow the winding path. On the way, hit two switches on the wall with magic. Once you are done, go back to the dungeon entrance, heal, and save. Go back to town and restock on items if you need them. You'll probably need them. On the way back, run past the place where the three skeletons previously blocked your path and open the door, open the chest and equip the strongest armour in the game. Now the enemies should feel a lot easier as their magic will be also blocked fairly well. If one of the doors to the chests are locked, then you need to go to the basement in option one and open the way to the switch.
Anyways, upon returning to the castle, you can straight north(probably a bad idea, but do go up the staircase to your immediate north) when you enter the castle. Now head east and grab the chest that is there. Head west and north and grab the chests there. Head back to the beginning of the dungeon save and heal... Go back to the basement where the amulet can be taken (the first option already did this, but still proabably would like to hit the last two switches). The far switch opens an additional healing room. Now go to where the miniboss is. Head through the door behind where he was and head north to a door. Go through it and save and heal. Go back south and head up the stairs to the final boss. Talk to him and beat him.
--------------------------------------------------------------
Epilogue: The End
???Find out for yourself???
If you beat the game on normal or harder, there will be an option to start a bonus game. The harder the difficulty you played on, the more you will start the bonus game on. The bonus game contains a lot more information about the world and explain Eloria's pastlife in greater detail.
------------------------------------------------
Another game in the series will be released shortly. This isn't the first one started, but the first one completed. It is a spinoff that explains a few minor details in the main series. This game was built first for experimentation purposes... to relearn the system you might say....
 ------------------------------------------------
Secret 1: A short Bonus Game can be unlocked by beating the game on normal or on harder difficulties. The harder the difficulty you play, the easier the bonus game will be for you.  Head all the way east to reach stairs to the basement. Head down there.

Secret 2: When the game starts , press Z or Enter just to the left of the pillar to the upper right of the hexegram, near the guy with the green hair. Make your way through the game to the final boss. DO NOT TALK TO HIM YET! Head to the right and then down. Just above the right bottom turret, wedged against the edge of the building, you need to press Z or Enter again. Now head to the port town, on the other dock(not the one with the ship), there is a guy with an eye patch. Talk to him to gain a hidden character.
This might help: 6341114

Secret 3: There is a cheat engine built into the game. It was originally used to help debugging, but many of the functions have been replaced. You'll need to know this: 5261488. Good luck finding it.

Top 100 Shows To See (70-61)


70. The Prisoner (2009)
"This show gave me cancer." "This was the worst surprise ever." "It is sacrilegious to the franchise." "It made my eyes bleed." "I am ashamed to have place it this highly on a list." That are what the fans of this show are saying. Jokes aside, this show really does spit and vomit on the ideology of the original. Not only that, but it is outright opposed to the original's philosophy. Still, it has one fascinating sci-fi element which allows it to be watchable with the only other redeeming quality being Gandalf. I can honestly say I hate this show more than any other I have seem. So why put it on the list of the Top 100 Shows? There are three main answers. 1. To warn you against watching the show. 2. To try to convince you to write a scathing review about it after you see it. 3. If you have already seen it, then to convince you to watch the original version.
69. Battlestar Galactica (1978)
There are many things I could criticize this show for. However, it was enjoyable and had some quality sci-fi elements to it that set it apart from many other shows of the time. It also had a plotline that, while often slow, was reminiscent of the epics of old.
68. Battlestar Galactica (1980)
It is the sequel to the original and as such fits here nicely. It takes place later in the story and features time travel and Nazi fighting. Everyone loves fighting nazi's so this one gets ranked a bit higher.

67. Dr. Who (2005+)
There is little reason to watch this show if you haven't seen the Classic Version. They are very different and this one simply isn't as good. There are a few episodes that are definitely must see, but most are rather worthless. Now that I have angered the many addicted fans, use your anger to go watch show of more worth and break free from it!
66. Final Fantasy: Unlimited
This is a good show and it is probably the best film version of the Final Fantasy Series that isn't based off the world of a particular preexisting game. It is addicting and portrays an Alice in Wonderland type fantasy world that is both dark and delightful.
65. Black Butler
A story about a demon butler in service to a the Queen's Guard Dog(A.K.A. Ciel Phantomhive). The worst part about the show is the way perverted fans treat it. While that is a common phenomena for anime fans, this show seems to get it a lot worse for some reason. Maybe that is just my perception. Anyways this deal with devil is worth watching.
64. Jonny Quest
This is the original version of the show. It is the first real action cartoon and it was an animation achievement of it's time. It also heavily censored on the reruns for violence thanks to concerned parents... Luckily the DVD versions aren't censored. This show is intense and filled with great light sci-fi plots. Several of the episodes were known to give kids nightmares,
63. The Boondocks
If you were to ask me what is so great about this show when I first saw it, I wouldn't know. The characters are great and it tackles serious social issues with ease. Beyond that, this is simply good entertainment. The best episode is probably about a plot to kidnap Oprah. Nevertheless, we all look forward to this series's continuation.
62. The Rat Patrol
Who could have thought that so much action could take place in some 20 minutes in a live action show? Despite the lack of focus on characterization, the characters were still good and could be learned in some of the episodes. Once that's done, the action is a lot better. The episodes would be better if arranged differently. The cat and mouse games can be quite good and the plots are often well executed.
61. The Cleveland Show
This show is a direct spinoff of Family Guy. It is hilarious in it's own special way. With only four seasons, this show never declines and a great and steady ride through it's intricate comicness. Tim Bear is the best character, but everyone loves Cleveland.

Top 100 Shows To See (80-71)

80. The Lone Gunmen
Everyone loved the Lone Gunmen in the X-Files, and they are pretty great here too… but not quite as good considering how the plot felt a tad bit tacked on and less significant than the plot of the X-Files. It also didn’t help that its plot ended in the X-Files with their death.
79. Trinity Blood
Genetically modified humans made to survive in space have lived on mars while normal humans have suffered an apocalypse. The GMO humans return and due to their longevity, hate of light, and vampiric eating patterns, are considered to be vampires. A social rift opens between humans and vampires that must be solved.
78. The New Adventures of Jonny Quest
It was hard to find this show due to the crappier 90’s version taking up most of search results. This is the 80’s incarnation of Jonny Quest and is similar to the original, but Jonny’s voice is terrible. Some of the plots are a bit more farfetched, but the animation is better.
77. Star Trek: Voyager
This version of Star Trek is one of the last ones worth watching. The first two seasons aren’t very good with the plots primarily focused on either holodeck malfunctions or having their warpdrive not functioning. After that the show starts to balance out and it becomes worth watching.
76. The Office
An office filled with interesting characters in dramatic and hilarious situations is presented in a mockumentary form. It’s funny and surprisingly has some interesting ethical situations presented well.
75. Battlestar Galactica (2004)
This is on the list primarily due to the legal issues later in the series. It has great depictions of science fiction space warfare and it has interesting philosophical discussions. That being said, the series is full of flaws and the ending is unforgivable and anticlimactic.
74. Deadman Wonderland
Insane private prisons making profit off of the suffering of prisoners? Sounds like typical America, but not quite. Rather than the typical sweatshops, the prisoners are used for gladiatorial events that are very dangerous. The protagonist finds himself framed and sent to the prison where he discovers that he is blood based powers.
73. Caprica
This show is only here due to some of the ideas about artificial intelligence. It had some interesting themes and it had action that kept it entertaining. I can’t say that it really is very original, nor would I watch it again.
72. Requiem From The Darkness
This show is a collection of morbid stories gathered by the protagonist as follows a group of people out to expose and punish evil. This show is worth watching for the animation alone, but the plots are great too.

71. Detentionaire
I started watching this show on a whim. I was pleasantly surprised by a good characters and a sincerely interesting plot. The animation is also interesting and unique, surpassing the other cartoons of its time. Beyond that I like the way it promotes a distrust of authorities and a good protagonist willing to break rules to reveal an overarching conspiracy after he is framed at school.  I guess, as they say, you should never leave a cyborg wizard behind.

Top 100 Shows To See (90-81)



90. Star Trek: The Animated Series
This show starts where the original left off, but it's animated. It also featured the writings of several well known science fiction writers.  The animations seem a little… off… which is probably due to the fact that the voice actors are the actors from the original show and we are all used to their acting which disappears thanks to animation.

89.Archer
Imagine James Bond as an alcoholic and overly decadent psychopath with mother problems. That is Archer. Now put him into a private security firm where his mother is his boss and the entire company is filled people who are all crazy in their own special way. It’s funny, crude, and funny.
88. Robot Chicken
Each episode is filled with parodies on TV-Shows. Most of the clips in the show are designed to ruin your childhood. It is hilarious in its own chaotic way.
87. Soul Eater
Soul Eater is interesting in all aspects, from the diverse characters to the animation. Most of the characters tend to be a bit chaotic, with the biggest exception being Death the Kid, but all the characters work as a great combination. Fool!
86. D. Gray Man
A tale about exorcists. They use crazy awesome skills to craze big, bad monsters made out of the souls of the dead. The adventure takes a young exorcist around the world fighting hordes of evil with his friends. Rather epic really.
85. That's My Bush!
From the makers of South Parks a satire about President Bush. It portrays him as being a lovable idiot. It is short, but filled with laughs. And hey! Making fun of Bush is always fun!
84. Millineum
A former FBI agent with the ability to see through the eyes of serial killers and murderers. A mysterious doomsday group connected to demonic forces? Yep, this show's got everything. This show was canceled at the end of the third season and concluded in the X-Files.
83.  Kolchak: The Night Stalker
 I think I would have preferred this as a radio show. It is very interesting to listen to Kolchak's stories, but there is often very little worth seeing. The stories are all supernaturally inclined and intelligently written.
82. Terra Nova
Take Lost and Jurassic Park and mix them. Now add a little time travel and bam! Terra Nova! It isn't as good as Lost or Jurassic Park, but it's interesting enough.
81. Crusade
The sequel to Babylon 5. The show never really comes together and is ended before it gains speed. The ending is  hacked on to the end thanks to a bureaucracy.
