Alien Crush is a digital pinball game that takes place in an environment full of aliens. The game was developed by Naxat Soft and published by Hudson. The game was released on the TurboGraphx 16 in 1989 and on the Nintendo Wii in December 11, 2006. The game is the first installment of the Naxat Pinball Crush series that takes the pinball formula and adds gameplay elements that are not possible in actual pinball.

Alien Crush has a 2-level pinball table that is scattered with aliens. The gameplay has the player launching a ball into the table. The ball must hit many aliens and alien parts as the player uses flippers to keep the ball onto the table. When certain bumpers are activated, a secret bonus room will become available. These rooms has the player flipping the ball into giant alien creatures for extra points. Some examples of bonus rooms include bumping a pinball into a giant caterpillar or hitting the ball into a group of slimy ghosts. http://www.hardcoregaming101.net/crushpinball/crushpinball.htm
