Apparently I'm doomed to forget some each time. Too lazy to pull them all out again. Forgot Balls of Steel and Time Cruise this time around.

So I picked up Dragon's Revenge for the Genesis the other day.. So far I really like it; although if I had to choose, I'd still go with Sonic Spinball on my Sega!

I gotta ask, though. Technically, wouldn't this be the spiritual successor to Devil's Crush? I realize Tengen made Dragon's Revenge, not Naxat. But isn't Dragon's Revenge the sequel to Dragon's Fury (which was a Genesis port of Naxat's superior Devil's Crush/Crash for the TG-16?)

Thoughts, please...

Yes, Tengen made their own unauthorized sequel to Dragon's Fury (Devil's Crush/Crash) in Dragon's Revenge. It is ok, but Fury is much better.

I'm curious as to the licensing fiasco that this all is... :shock:

What licensing fiasco? They made their own pinball game that has a vaguely similar theme, but other than that they'd already used a different title for the first game here (Dragon vs Devil) and their own artwork for the cover that they were free to reuse the lady face and dragon head.

Well, the lady is an integral part of "the story" in Tengen's game; plus they reuse gameplay concepts such as bonus stage wins = red/yellow ball for multiplier points, as well as the whole "last chance" extra ball after your original game is done.. Even though it's a different game/license, Tengen still apes quite a bit in the Naxat department if you ask me..

Don't get me wrong, I'm not complaining - it's awesome to play a game that otherwise could be mistaken for a Naxat pinball game, regardless of who published it. I'd say it plays much better than Jaki Crush, but no where near as awesome as Devil's or Alien's Crush..

Some great collections, especially Hobie & dsheinem. I've just focused on console pinball games and I've barely scratched the surface. So far I have Pin-Bot on NES, Crue Ball on Genesis, and Sonic Spinball on Sonic Mega Collection Plus. I think I have Pinball on NES coming my way, as well, as long as a pending trade goes well. I also used to have Video Pinball on Atari 2600, don't know what happened to it. It's funny how that game barely resembled pinball, lol.

Pin-Bot on NES is an old childhood favorite of mine, and what started me in this direction. I see very little love for this game on this thread . :(

I REALLY want the Pinball Hall of Fame: Williams Collection and the Marvel Pinball tables on XBLA. Those look amazing.

Pin Bot is in the PS2 and PS3 retail versions of PHOF:W, so it should presumably be in the XBLA version as well. It is one of my favorite sounding pinball games, and it is pretty fun too. :)
