Dragon's Revenge is a sequel to Dragon's Fury (Devil's Crush MD). The table for this fantasy pinball game is three screens tall with medieval and dragon graphics. Each of the three screens has a pair of flippers at the bottom and the table elements are all animated and numerous monsters roam the screen. The object is to hit wandering monsters and certain groups of creatures to open up the gateway to a sub-level. The single screen sub levels offer multi-ball play and are the key to scoring high.

Not terribly long ago I played Tetris 2, which was a fake sequel to Tetris made by Nintendo. Tonight I stumbled upon and remembered Dragon's Revenge by Tengen, which is a fake sequel to Technosoft/Compile's amazing Dragon's Fury/Devil Crash video pinball game.
It's seriously incredible how presentation can matter so much with a game. It turns out if you got rid of the fantastic power metal tracks and cool backgrounds, then replaced it all with complete mediocrity and ugly garbage it seems to bring down the experience a smidgen. To make things annoying too, soundbites are constantly playing throughout the game like moaning women and some intern going "grrragh!". At times I feel like if someone else were in my house I would need to mute my TV due to the moaning woman noises making it sound like something naughty was going on.
You may ask, "wow, so your only reasoning for disliking the game is the crap audio and visuals? How frivolous, you foolish fool you." Actually no, the pinball physics in this also blow and the main table is crap. There's not many targets to hit, and the entire left-portion of the table is taken up by this section your ball can get bounced into that has no flippers to keep you involved or any decent amount of points to make it worthwhile.
I called Tetris 2 potentially the worst sequel I've ever played, and honestly it's kinda stupendous that I keep finding these low-effort follow ups that are worse than DMC2. Eat your heart out 2003 era Capcom.

The horrible, official, unofficial sequel to Dragon's Fury (AKA Devils Crush MD).
Stick to Jaki Crush.
