I loved playing this game. I was always asking people to play it with me because I was a little kid. I’d be like, “Hi. Pleased to meet you. Can we play Mario arcade?” whenever someone new came to the house.

That’s a great collection! I’m sure it took a long time to accumulate all of that.

It’s probably something to do with age. In 1998 I was 22. I was probably too old for Pokemon. I remember my nephews played the card game throughout the 90s. I didn’t play Ocarina or Pokemon, but I knew tons of people into Ocarina, like my nephews. Memory is also unreliable and yes, it’s listed as number 2, which surprised me, my poor or selective memory would have placed it number 1.

I distinctly remember everyone playing Ocarina of Time in 1998. I didn’t know anyone that was playing Pokemon Red/Blue.

You mean when I was a kid and had a dinosaur as a pet instead of a dog? Compute!'s Gazette, Compute!, Ahoy!, Your 64. Amiga Format, Electronic Games, Nintendo Power, and some other magazines I can’t remember. I was a junky for magazines and still am.

I remember using cassettes, but never vinyl, and I got the magazines when I was a kid, never saw one with a record. By the mid 1980s the magazines started including a floppy disk with all the programs stored on them so you could copy the code from the magazine if you wanted to or you could just grab them from the floppy. I guess it depended on what computer you used. I had commodore computers all through the 80s. It could be a regional difference, too. Maybe in the US in the 80s nobody wanted to use records and preferred tapes and floppies. Anyway, nice article. It was fun and interesting to read!

I’m reading your description and I want to remember this. It sounds like fun. Maybe I played it and I don’t remember? That would make me feel so old. Good thing I drink and smoke to forget.

I’ve come back here because other people replied. I’m sorry I didn’t answer you with a screenshot. You can find screenshots of the game, though, really easy, just do an image search on your favorite search engine. Trust me, this game has been written about online since dial up internet days, which is what you needed to connect an Amiga to the internet back then. Fun fact: the first porno animated gifs downloaded from the internet were probably created and downloaded to Amigas! So, you can easily find these screenshots yourself. If I get around to playing the game again, I’ll try to remember to screenshot something if somehow you can’t find what you’re looking for. Not sure what you’re looking for.

Oh wow, that’s so cool I almost popped a boner! Thanks! If you’re a man, I’m sorry. My boner isn’t for you, it’s for the valuable information about what the hell happened to that pinball game, which quite frankly entertained me in my office during office hours for a stretch. LMAO.

Thank you for saying it. I did not like this game very much. Maybe the person who threw it away had the same opinion as us. Imagine how much it would be worth if it was actually a good game to play. LOL

I love it because it’s an arts and crafts project and a computer project all packed into one. I definitely want to try this. I think instead of buying something with RetroPie already installed I’d just get a cheapy mini computer and install it myself. You could totally get away with using old hardware from a pawn shop or yard sale, even.

I sucked at that game. That’s why I don’t miss it much. LMAO. You did pretty well. The couple of times I played it back in the day, I had a negative bank.

OK, I wasn’t clear on that. So, Full Tilt! was available before the pinball game was included with Windows. How much work would it have taken Microsoft to adapt their pinball game to 64 bit machines? I mean, come on, what kind of excuse is that? They updated Solitaire and added word games. Silly Microsoft.

I’ve been playing Demon’s Tilt for a while now. It’s a lot like Devil’s Crush, with bonus tables. It definitely isn’t a pinball game for purists. I’m not a purist, I like a lot of different pinball games, so I have fun with it. On older versions of iOS and Android there was PinOut, which I can still play on my iPad. Not sure how long that will last. A lot of the new pinball games you can get on Steam, etc. are not to my liking because they require in-game purchases (you have to buy the game, then buy each table individually).

That was my favorite Windows game that came with the OS. I wonder why they removed it? Is it because they wanted to sell it as Full Tilt?

The Nightmare table has always been harder for me than the Ignition table, but yeah Ignition is a rough play through.

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!

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.

I’m using the Fusion emulator, if that helps. The Sega Genesis is long dead. RIP.
