Devil's Crush.  The Music!  The graphics!  The Samples!  But the thing that I love most about it is, strangely, the many glorious hues that the robed wizards in the top table change to every time your ball goes into the launchers.

Aliens Crush was the fourth game I ever got. Only got DC a couple years ago. It's pure nostalgia for me...

This is a tough one. Technically, I'd say Devil's Crush is the better game. But for me, Alien Crush always played better. It's more concise and I like the board layout better.

That's just me, though.
Games I Need: Bonk 3 (HuCard), Legend of Hero Tonma, Magical Chase, Soldier Blade, Super Air Zonk.

Ditto. DC "crushes" AC on paper with scrolling and 1 more playfield level. But I have issues with the ball physics on DC, there are a few times where it does not do what feel it should. AC plays faster and it has that whole organic-alien vibe which works for me versus the medieval-castle that Devils' has.

I have both and would never drop it from my collection.

Is there an ending to Alien Crush? It seems the counter just starts again once you've filled it.

I prefer Devil's Crush for its awesome tunes and scrolling screen (screen flips kinda kill the pacing), but you really can't go wrong with either of 'em.

P.S. - I voted for Time Cruise!  :mrgreen:

Alien Crush for me. I like the theme more, and I feel that Devil's Crush is more difficult and really frustrating because I loose balls more than I'd like. What I don't like is that raising points in either takes too long: Alien Crush because of the lack of big combos and Devil's Crush because it's way easy to die before time.

you're supposed to get 9999999999999 or whatever and then fight the boss.  This is all second hand info, because I've never managed to get there, but my friend did on the Megadrive version.

Devil's Crush is the best pinball video game ever, period.

Yes, there is an ending.  It can be beaten with a score of 999,999,900.  At least, thats what the Devils Crush manual says.  Page 8 bottom right, under playing tips.  It refers to Alien Crush.
