Devil's Crush
pcePinball
Devil's Crush is a supernatural video pinball game developed by Compile and published by Naxat Soft for the PC Engine in 1990. It follows Alien Crush as the second entry in the Crush Pinball series, replacing science-fiction horror with demons, skeletons, gargoyles, and occult artwork. The core premise is straightforward: keep the ball in play, strike targets, defeat enemies, and build a high score across a large multi-screen table. Its play style combines traditional flipper timing with arcade action, including enemy attacks, bonus areas, and table transitions. The game was well received for its striking presentation, energetic pacing, and unusually ambitious table design, and it became one of the PC Engine's most recognized pinball titles.
How is this list kept current?
How rankings are calculated
The list is generated from active EmuGamers catalog entries. Votes and play activity determine order; browser compatibility is reported separately and does not turn an untested game into a higher-ranked recommendation.
| Order | Signal | How it is used |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | Real community votes | Games with at least one recorded vote appear before games with no votes. |
| 2 | Rating confidence | More votes rank first, followed by the rating value. |
| 3 | Play activity | Play count breaks rating ties and orders entries with no votes. |
| 4 | Stable tie-break | Game name keeps otherwise equal results deterministic. |
