Retro RPG Vay available to US iPhone gamers
A brand new conversion of the classic 1994 Sega Mega-CD game
Just as Sega of America's president Simon Jeffery is railroaded into saying the iPhone is as powerful as the Dreamcast console, TouchArcade reports on a conversion of the Mega-CD's classic RPG, Vay.
Casting you as Sandor, Prince of Lorath, Vay has become a cult favourite renowned for difficult, yet deep and extensive gameplay.
Back in 1994, a CD-ROM offered seemingly unlimited storage space for a 2D isometric RPG, so the original dev team really went to town on making Vay as far-reaching as possible; boasting something in the region of 40–50 hours of gameplay. (Impressive in those days.)
Rather astutely, SoMoGa hasn't gone for a direct port so much as a considered conversion. It's been careful to deliberately retain the retro style and feel, while adapting the interface, layout and battle scenes to better suit the touchscreen controls of the iPhone.
Currently only available to US iPhoners, the large App Store download is racking up some serious retro attention.
Hit 'Track It!' now to stay informed about any further news from the land of Lorath.
