About Vay

It came from space more than a millenium before. Two-tons of advanced technology, programmed only for destruction. The five mightiest wizards of the land joined forces and drew away the power of the battle machine, dividing the power into 5 orbs and sealing the armor away from humanity. Now, the Danek Empire has partially duplicated the fearsome mechanized technology, creating a deadly army of metal warriors programmed for world domination. The only hope for salvation is to find the legendary orbs and restore power to the armor that nearly destroyed the planet more than 1000 years before. Join Sandor as he begins a quest that will take him from the depths of Magmal Isle to the terrifying heights of Draktyr. Fight over 100 types of monsters, explore towns, and enjoy exciting CD animation scenes as you pursue the orbs that will activate the legendary armor of Vay. But, will the armor save your world, or destroy it forever?

Sega CD prices, all games & how to spot a fake

A long, colorful Japanese-style RPG that Working Designs brought over, and one the American press rated among the Sega CD's best.

This is the Sega CD version of Vay, which Hertz developed. SIMS published it in Japan on 22 October 1993 as Vay: Ryuusei no Yoroi, and Working Designs localized it for North America, where it came out in July 1994. Sega Pro called it a huge RPG that looks and plays a lot like Phantasy Star.

Video Games magazine named it runner-up for 1994's Best Role-Playing Game, behind Final Fantasy III, and runner-up for Best Sega CD Game. Sega Visions listed it as a finalist for best adventure/RPG product on the Sega CD. A GamePro preview in April 1994 said it looked more colorful than Lunar and carried a stronger Japanese influence, with lengthy cut-scene animations, and that it should be a little easier to play.

What the press said at the time

Electronic Gaming Monthly Issue 61	August 1994	6, 4, 5, 5, 7
Sega Pro Issue 37	October 1994	88%
Sega Pro Issue 43	April 1995	83%

“From Working Designs (Lunar: The Silver Star) comes another RPG that should keep fans of the genre more than happy.”
— Electronic Gaming Monthly, August 1994

“At the end of the day Vay is a very involving game that will appeal to those people who want to get a bit more from their Mega-CDs.”
— MegaTech, January 1995

“Another epic RPG from the creators of Lunar- The Silver Star. This time the battle sequences are much better, aithough they still crop up perhaps a tad too often, getting in the way of the excellent adventuring.”
— Sega Pro, October 1994

“An enchanting RPG with a well-thought-out adventure. Lots of puzzles to solve, characters to meet, and weapons and magie to buy. Almost as good as Lunar: The Silver Star.”
— Sega Pro, April 1995

Electronic Gaming Monthly's average rating is the mean of its Review Crew's scores, each given on a 1 to 10 scale "in relation to other titles available for the same system."

Before you buy

The US disc is one of the pricier North American Sega CD games, well above the middle. The US box included a map, so a complete copy should have it along with the manual. A Japanese disc needs a Japanese Mega-CD. Check that the label is printed on the disc and that the title and catalogue number match the case.
