Synopsis

Alien Crush is a 1988 pinball video game developed by Compile for the TurboGrafx-16. The game is the first installment in the Crush Pinball series, and was followed by three sequels: Devil's Crush, Jaki Crush, and Alien Crush Returns. Alien Crush was later re-released via emulation on the Virtual Console for Wii, Nintendo 3DS, and Wii U, and for PlayStation 3 through PlayStation Network. Alien Crush garnered generally favorable reception from critics, some of which reviewed it as an import title; praise was given to the unusual and original graphical design reminiscent of the Alien films, realistic physics, accessibility towards less experienced players and playability but some felt divided regarding its audio, while the transition between the two screens and lack of variety in gameplay aside from the bonus rounds were seen as negative points. Retrospective commentary has been mostly positive.
