Alien Crush vs. Devil's Crush

[Bernie]

Alien Crush has some of the best graphics that will ever grace a game.

I have to say I agree.  Sometimes I lose my ball just cuz I was tryikng to look at the backgrounds and not keep an eye on the ball itself.  lol

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.

Turbo version of Devil's has no boss, just a very short ending with the girl.  Alien Crush has a text-only ending ("Congratulations, you beat the Aliens" or some shit like that IIRC) as I discovered once when my ball got stuck forever in some score-increasing part of the background.  I was playing it in an emu, so I turned frameskip all the way up, went and watched TV for 2 hours and came back to see the score max out and the "ending" start.

That's the end of my story.  :-)

I was playing it on the bus once, when my ball did the same thing.  I popped it on the seat next to me for a bit and started playing something else, but eventually, it restarted.

I dunno if it was the battery, or something built in, but bummer

Devils Crush is (to me) the best pinball game released EVAR!!!!!

Not unless you're the type who thinks that R-Type's visuals are nothing special.

There're pretty close for me but I have to go with devil crush because it has better music.

R-Type has best visuals of ever.

Devil Crush without a shadow doubt for me :@)

[fragmare]

I gotta say, Devil's Crush does it for me.  It's just more intense and the music is the best music on any HuCard, imo.

Time Cruise II really needs to be on this poll. Though, was there ever a TC 1?

Not for PCE.

TC 1 came out exclusively for the TG-16 in the great ol' US of A!

I voted Alien. Yeah, DC is technically the better game but Alien has staying power. It still kicks major ass, 25 years later. Plus, the scrolling in DC bugs me. I need to see where my ball is going before it gets there. Not to mention two soundtracks are better than one!

[thesteve]

i voted DC
its the first video pinball i ever liked.
AC is a close second

Turbo TC"1" is actually PCE TC 2 with the "II" taken off the title screen.

FACE did actually start development on Time Cruise (1) for the PCE and showed it in Feb. 1990:



It had countries as its theme, apparently.  Who knows why they cancelled it and started on the apparently blander TCII instead...
