Actually the other two devils seem somewhat familiar as well.  I'm digging down to my youth back to the mid 80s and all, but I get visions of the one on the left on like some 4th of July firecracker stand/package, etc... something to do with firecrackers, and the one on the middle having to do with some candy of some sort... like hot tamales-type candy or something (holy crap, I had totally forgotten about hot tamales too until I saw this).  Anyway, my mind can be making things up, but if anyone recognizes the other devils, let me know!

The middle one is Ghoulardi.

Can someone here tell me what the deal was with those Pandemonium puzzle contests?

I remember seeing them in EGM and other gaming mags in the early-mid 90s.

I never entered, but the one in the magazine was always easy and I knew for sure there had to be a catch. What was it?

Came across this while looking at photos my brother took while in Australia. Bears a striking resemblance to a certain baddie in PC Genjin.
