Satanic Panic in 2023: 27 years later playing “Devil’s Crush” and still so far away from 1 billion points. Maybe the 700 Billion Club will come back from the dead and help me.
Easily one of my favorite games of all time. I had played it on an emulator for a number of years, and the. I found it at a flea market for $0.50 about 15 years ago and played it on my TG express an absurd amount.
Sad that I sold it (and all my TG stuff), but I have a Miyoo Mini coming soon to hopefully scratch that itch soon.
I wasted my Sega Genesis non-life on this game so many hours you would just call me a loser. The console was my mom’s, so when I went away to college I didn’t have it with me. Every vacation I returned home, I’d just play this and see if I could get a billion points. My mom had the game genie, so she beat it artificially. I refuse the genie. You can find this game anywhere. It was not popular back in the day. It’s one of those cheap games you got at K-Mart for whatever, maybe a couple dollars. It’s definitely like The Adventures of Lolo was. A cheap ass game. Not one of the titles that was overpriced and cool kids arcade category. It was a cheapy game. One of the first of its kind, along with the Lolo games. No sooner it was released, it was in the bargain bin at the cheapy department store.
I love this game! This and Bonk are THE TurboGrafx games in my mind.
Never heard of this before, but just watched a YouTube video and it looks awesome! I’ll give it a try on emulator later!
I’m using the Fusion emulator, if that helps. The Sega Genesis is long dead. RIP.
OK, I’ll get the fuaion emulator. Whyat do you mean by the Genesis being long dead? Is this game not good on Genesis?
No, I meant that my Sega Genesis is long dead. It died years ago, as in it stopped working. But it lasted a long time. It finally bit the dust in 2012 or so. This game is great! I played it nonstop when I was 20. A couple of nights ago for some reason the game popped in my head and I felt like playing it. Today I’ve played it at home and when I’ve been out of the house on my phone.
Just spent the last hour playing and it is awesome and addictive!! I tried both the Genesis and TurboGrafx versions and I preferred the TurboGrafx because of the better use of screen real estate. Also, the USA version has some of the satanic imagery censored, so I’d suggest getting the uncensored Japanese version instead (which is also in English).
I’m glad you’re having fun with it! When you get tired of it, there’s a sequel to it called “Dragon’s Revenge.” It’s just as fun as “Devil’s Crush.” So nice to enable people to try retro games they hadn’t played before. I had no idea it was on the TurboGrafx as well as the Sega. Most people understand it was developed for the Sega. Interesting!
I’ll give that a shot as well! Thanks for the recommendations! It’s so much better than searching randomly for “hidden gems”.
