The music had to loop endlessly without driving players crazy, and these composers absolutely nailed it. Devil's Crush dominates the tracklist with its gothic rock-influenced score. "Devils Crush Main Table" is the track most players will remember, a driving, relentless piece that kept energy high during long pinball sessions.
The four distinct bonus table themes each bring their own flavor to the demonic pinball action, and "Devils Crush Ending" rewards players who managed to conquer the dark medieval table with a satisfying conclusion. Alien Crush's contributions lean into sci-fi horror territory, with "Alien Crush Lunar Eclipse" and "Alien Crush Demons Undulate" delivering pulsing, eerie compositions that perfectly matched the H.
R. Giger-inspired table design. The sound chip of the TurboGrafx-16 gave these tracks a distinctive crunch that still sounds great today. "Alien Crush Game" served as the main gameplay loop, and it remains one of the most memorable pieces of music on the entire platform — proof that even a pinball game could have a killer soundtrack.
