'''''Bad Omen''''' (バッドオーメン) is a 1992 [[Sega Mega Drive]] game by [[Aisystem Tokyo]] and [[HOT-B]] as a sequel to [[Genki]]'s 1991 [[Game Gear]] game ''[[Devilish]]''. When released overseas, the name was changed to '''''Devilish: The Next Possession''''' to highlight its relation to the previous game. The game appears to not have been made with Genki's involvement; this is unconfirmed (HOT-B was responsible for distributing ''Devilish'' in Europe and possibly contracted out to Genki on a number of occasions). In fact, the game may have been intended as a port rather than as a sequel — this also has to be confirmed (TODO).

Bad Omen (バッドオーメン) is a 1992 Sega Mega Drive game by Aisystem Tokyo and HOT-B as a sequel to Genki's 1991 Game Gear game Devilish. When released overseas, the name was changed to Devilish (or Devilish: The Next Possession) to highlight its relation to the previous game. The game appears to not have been made with Genki's involvement; this is unconfirmed (HOT-B was responsible for distributing Devilish in Europe and possibly contracted out to Genki on a number of occasions). It may have meant to be a port, never mind that the overseas release simply reuses the original's title screen.

Gameplay is identical to the previous game, with A and C cycling between paddle formations (however the formation where the bottom paddle splits into two is no longer available).
