I've played it in Majorca, about 8 years or so ago. I remember vividly wondering why the Bomberman game I played wasn't in MAME then firing up Magic Engine and finding out it was the first Bomberman game for PCE. I remember it had some kind of card slot, perhaps? Could just be me misremembering.

Anyway, I'm doing a feature on the Naxat Crush pinball games for my own amusement - Alien, Devil and Jaki, which is less well known. Since these things are pretty japanese I've been doing my homework and I see there's an Alien Crush listed as having an Arcade release. It is not in MAME, which makes me think either 1) the fatties got another one or 2) it was on this mysterious arcade variant which has no information available about it online.

Can anyone help me?

It's a better idea to say the Compile Crush series, because that's who programmed them.

And I don't think Alien Crush was originally an arcade game. If it did get a release, it was only through the Turbografx "arcade machine" that NEC put on US army bases and the like.
