MORE DEVIL CRASH MOMENTS

-

The Face Of Evil

Devil Crash’s main table features the face of a beautiful woman in its centre. She sits there looking serene until you start dropping balls into the top of her head. Explosions begin to appear and her face slowly starts to disintegra­te, and it soon becomes obvious that something more menacing is hiding underneath. Hit her enough times and her calm visage disappears completely and she transforms into a hideousloo­king reptile. This does net you plenty of points, though.

Get Bonus

Devil Crash is notable for its numerous bonus stages that you’re transporte­d to when certain objectives on the main table are achieved. Although they take place on a single screen, they all present a challenge with the most difficult being the huge demon that sits in the middle of the screen and throws a fire-breathing worm at you. He’s a real bugger to take down, but at least you get to listen to a gorgeous slice of audio while you are doing it.

Strike A Chord

Frustratin­gly, one of the greatest moments in Devil

Crash MD is one we can’t actually show you. It’s when you start the game and listen to the sensationa­l soundtrack that emits from your Mega Drive as you batter your ball around the main table. A couple of minutes later you’re still playing and later you suddenly realise that the scintillat­ing piece of music still hasn’t looped. It does eventually, nearly seven minutes after it first started. Astonishin­g.

Last Laugh

As you rack up a high score in Devil Crash you’ll continuall­y take stock of the many animated aspects of the board. There’s a dragon that breathes fire as you destroy its eggs, a group of monks circle a pentagram on the top part of the table, while a chortling knight guards a ramp. By far the most annoying animated extra is a skull, which not only takes you to a bonus round, but laughs mockingly at you whenever you lose a ball. We hate that skull.
