Two of the TurboGrafx-16’s most iconic games now have their soundtracks etched onto vinyl thanks to Mondo and Enjoy The Ride Records. The soundtracks for Devil’s Crush and Alien Crush are now available in one multi-colored vinyl record for $25. Unfortunately, only 200 of these are being made!
As the names suggest, Devil’s Crush featured a pinball table themed around Satanic and nightmarish iconography. Alien Crush, meanwhile, took a lot of its design inspiration from sources like H.R. Gieger and R-Type. Out of the two, Devil’s Crush was the better one, in my opinion. Check out the gameplay videos below, and let us know what you think.
The Crush soundtracks also contain a bonus. Side B includes choice tracks from Toshiaki Sadoda’s Star Soldier score.

Considering the TurboGrafx 16 wasn’t exactly as popular as the NES in the US, there’s a good chance you’ve never seen these games before. My parents, for whatever reason, always got the lesser-known consoles when I was growing up. So, of course, I had a TG-16 and loved it. It may not have had the most extensive library of video games, but it did have some of the most unique titles of the time.
