Devil's Crush is a pinball game developed by Compile under license from NAXAT Soft for the TurboGrafx-16, as part of NAXAT's Crush series of pinball games. Technosoft acquired a license to port the game to the Mega Drive, calling it Devil Crash MD (デビルクラッシュ ＭＤ) and releasing it in Japan. They would then license it to Tengen for localization overseas; Tengen censored a few graphics deemed too Satanic for western audiences and released the final product as Dragon's Fury in the US and Europe (hence the page name) despite the TurboGrafx-16 version having been released internationally beforehand.
While NAXAT furthered the series itself, Tengen would later release a sequel, Dragon's Revenge, not under license from anyone.
The goal of the game is to accumulate as many points as possible by defeating stampedes of enemies and other objects in each part of the table without losing all your balls. By default, the D-pad buttons shoot the left flipper, 
shoots the right, and 
tilts; this can be configured in the Options menu. Holding charges a new ball for launch. Each section of the table has portals into bonus stages in which you must complete a certain task (such as destroying coffins filled with bats [Bonus Stage 2] or destroying skeletons shooting fireballs at you [Bonus Stage 1]) with only one ball; you get bonus points regardless of whether or not you complete each mission successfully. The game ends when you lose all your balls (that is, there is no goal other than to accumulate as many points as possible).
The Options menu is accessible by pressing + START in Devil Crash MD, but is made directly accessible from the title screen in Dragon's Fury.
