Dando by Treco for Megadrive

need more info & screens on Dando, an action-RPG by Treco. Dando's side-scrolling action elements should remind gamers of TG16's Legendary Axe

 

I remember that. I used to eat up these magazines back in the day. a million times more exiting than the internet.

 

Indeed I remember that game. Later, a US game mag (maybe EGM) noted that Dando's name had been changed to "Vasum" and was still coming out. I never saw its release under any title.

 

I do have old Megadrive Fan magazines from 1989-1990,and it is listed as Vasum...i even have an AD for it in one of those magazines

There is many other MD Games i saw in these magazines,with ADs,like Explode Star,Moondancer or Road Busters,that finally never came out...Road Busters even has a 6 pages review!

 

I don't know if Explode Star came out in Japan, but it was released in the US as Trampoline Terror! A fun and vibrant game, that.

 

I can confirm you those NEVER came out in Japan,even with ads in magazines,reviews,etc...
Road Busters,Vasum,Moondancer or Exploder Star,none of those

 

i still have all my EGMs back from when iw as a kid,every so often i love to just take a random stack and read through them all.looking at import megadrive and super famicom games still make me drool.

 

Not sure if this pic has been posted before, but I recently scanned another preview of Vasum from an October, 1990 Famicom Tsushin:
