Vay (ヴァイ), also known by its full title Vay: Ryuusei no Yoroi (ヴァイ流星の鎧), is a Sega Mega-CD role-playing game developed by Hertz. First published in Japan by SIMS in October 1993, it was later localized by Working Designs and published in the United States the following July.

Plot

Vay features an interesting premise, a high-fantasy civilization which co-exists with futuristic mecha (known in-universe as "Armor of Vay"), and also received an elaborate English translation and localization by Working Designs.
