Devil’s Crush: sure plays an evil pinball
Devil’s Crush (also translated sometimes as Devil’s Crash) was an action pinball game released in the early ’90s for the Turbo Grafix-16 and the Sega Genesis/Megadrive. Although a straight-forward pinball game, it featured action elements such as moving enemies, bosses, and an extremely interactive board that gave the gameplay more depth than the typical pinball game. The coolest part is that the game had an occult/Satanic horror atmosphere, and some random storyline about a fushigi ball or whatever.
The most important part is the music; here it is preternaturally fantastic. Some of the score was written or co-written Toshiharu Yamanishi, who is one of the masterminds behind the great soundtracks to the Thunderforce series, also released by Technosoft. Listen to this hot tamale of a song and experience vicarious battle with the spiritual underworld.
