While the TurboGrafix 16 didn’t have a lot of great exclusives, Devil’s Crush and it’s sibling Alien Crush were two killer video pinball games. The pinball duo went on to influence other great games like Pinball of the Dead, Metroid Prime Pinball, and Odama.

Review Tidbits:
“Aliens have taken over the world, and it’s up to you to stop them. Gather all your courage and embark on a pinball journey to destroy evil aliens and restore the world to humanity. Attack the aliens upon the field of battle — the pinball field. Use your three balls and two flippers to destroy the infestation before the whole world is overcome by the fearsome hordes! Along the way, battle your way through numerous bonus levels, destroy alien hatchlings, all the while relying on your swift flipper-controlling fingers. If things get a little out of hand, never fear, you have a tilt feature, just as in the real thing! Featuring real-life controls, bonus levels, and a board that is out of this world, Alien Crush is a pinball game that puts you in charge of saving the world.”

“The part of Alien Crush that allows you rack up all those points is quite a hefty one. What really will cause everyone to check out Alien Crush, perhaps even enjoy it more than a real pinball machine, is the amazing two screen long, fully animated interactable board that will keep your eyes bugged right out of their sockets in sheer awe. Watch as your silver ball is grabbed by naughty red tentacles only to be pulled into the broken cranium of some dead alien. However, the snarling tentacle monster dwelling within gnaws away at your ball before shooting it out realizing that it’s not its favorite snack: humans! Your ball flies across the air and hits the large brain in the corner causing it to fizzle and writhe in pain.

Boost your score as you hit away at growling fiends embedded into the walls of the nest. Your score will keep inflating as you smash into two cocoons that blossom into gigantic lobster beasts that scurry about waking up your soon impending doom. A crimson red eye opens, then another, and another until all nine eyes of a humongous alien face are gaping into your very soul. The giant alien greets your company by opening his mouth wide in order to ask for a quick nibble. Use the mighty flippers to lob your ball into it’s mouth and you’ll find yourself in a magical place.”
