    I used to own every pinball and shootemup on Genesis. This includes getting Repro's of Bootleg Korean games. Devil's Crush is the greatest video Pinball game ever made. The Genesis port was renamed Dragon's Fury due to parents being hesitant to buy kids with Devil in it's name. Did you know the Genesis has an exclusive sequel created by Tengen? It's called "Devil's Revenge" and sports just as amazing and cool graphics as Devil's Crush but ultimately it's not as good a game (What is?) but it's still absolutely worth a go though if your a Devil's Crush fan.

    @@Wallyworld30 Have you played Demon's Tilt yet? It was heavily inspired by Devil's Crush and is available on Steam and various consoles. I was participating in Global Game Jam (a game dev hackathon) not too long ago and I was very close to convincing my team to make a "Souls-like Pinball RPG", but because most of my team members were new to game dev we ended up making a platformer with an unfinished tutorial level. Anyway, I was heavily inspired by Demon's Tilt, so I thought I'd mention.

    @@ggbetz SNES had Jaki Crush and it's not bad it's the 3rd game made by "Compile" the team behind Alien Crush and Devil's Crush and also created the amazing Shootemup Series "Aleste" aka "MUSHA". Sega Genesis had a sequel to "Dragon's Fury" not created by Compile called Dragon's Revenge. This game was made by Atari/Tengen and is a Genesis Exclusive. It's not as good as Dragon's Fury but it's still great as far as Pinball games go. The intro has a ladies face in the middle of the table morph into a Dragon face is a cool effect. A 5th Crush game was made for Wii Ware Shop called "Alien Crush Returns". It's now gone into the aether since Wii Ware Shop is gone. I can't for the life of me figure out why all those Wii Ware games didn't get ported to steam and just let cool game disappear forever. The Korean Bootleg games had a few excellent games. A company called Piko Interactive is taking the really good Bootleg games and removing the stolen assets from them and replacing them with new legal assets and sells them from their website. I've bought 2 games from them and they have nice clamshell cases and nice artwork. I bought "Water Margin" and "Canon Legends of the New Gods". You get your game shipped quickly and they are reasonably priced. Piko isn't creating a new game wholesale just liscensing a game and translating it to English and removing Illegal assetts if it's a bootleg. Piko isn't like Watermelon who make all new Genesis games from scratch but it takes years for you to finally get the game.

    I'll always have something of a soft spot for the black box Nintendo because it was one of the first video games to bring back Pauline (and...I THINK the first time she was a brunette) Even if that one music loop REALLY sounds like the "Mother told me, yes she told me I'd meet girls like you" part from Cheap Trick's Surrender.

    I actually picked up black box Pinball at a thrift shop a few months ago for dirt cheap, I was actually surprised just how fun it was! Sure, it's simple, but sometimes the minimal-thrills video pinball is just what you need. My personal recommended if you're in a video pinball mood is the two Pokémon Pinball titles. Even if you aren't super into the main series, they're just well made pinball games all around with solid physics, and the Pokémon catching aspect adds a layer of progression besides just high scores that keeps you coming back
