You might have noticed something missing from the Virtual Console version of Naxat's haunting pinball game Devil's Crush... namely, the spinning pentagrams that doubled as ball traps. The glowing red stars have been replaced with simple triangles, placating paranoid parents but annoying the old-school gamers who were most likely to purchase the game in the first place!

This actually isn't the first time that Devil's Crush was sanitized by game companies fearful of a public backlash. When the Sega Genesis version, Dragon's Fury, was released in the United States by Tengen, several of the game's most controversial graphic elements were changed... for instance, the crosses were transformed into urns with wicked grins. Fortunately, this did little to change the quality of the game, which holds up wonderfully on the Wii fifteen years after its release.
