CORBIE'S GAME BLOG

I'll be the first to admit, I was never a big pinball fan. So when I first bought my Turbo Grafx-16 system, I found it odd that the first game I bought for it was Alien Crush, an alien-themed video pinball game. I got home with Alien Crush and immediately fell in love with it. So it was only natural that when I first read about the sequel, Devil's Crush, I knew I had to have it. I'll never forget how excited I was the day I went into Toys R Us and found the game. I had 3 college classes that day that were grueling because I knew once I got back home, I was going to finally get to play Devil's Crush and let me tell you, it was as great as I had expected and more.

Devil's Crush was everything Alien Crush was and more. Now instead of a two-level pinball machine, you got three levels. There was also a really spooky mood to the game that really captured the theme of the game perfectly. Devil's Crush offered a little more challenge as well, especially with the mini-games. While you could still rack up millions of points fairly easily, you had to have quicker reflexes this time around and it made the game a lot more fun to play. Whether you're a fan of video pinball games or not, you should really give one of these two outstanding pinball games a try. They're a nice change of pace from the many shooters and platformers you'll normally find loads of on the Turbo Grafx-16 system.
