Dando, known in Japan as Vasum (ヴァザム), is an unreleased Sega Mega Drive sidescrolling action game developed by Aicom. Originally announced at Tokyo Toy Show 1990 and set to be published by Treco in both North America and Japan, the game was cancelled for unknown reasons (although at one point was priced at ¥6,800[1]).

It is been suggested that it may have used similar mechanics to the TurboGrafx-16/PC Engine game The Legendary Axe/Makyou Densetsu and the arcade/NES game, Astyanax/The Lord of King, both developed by Aicom. It is also said to have had RPG-like elements. Given Treco's history, it is unlikely this game would have been released in Europe.
