A Tengen pinball with a dragon theme, pleasant without matching Devil's Crush or Dragon's Fury. Decent tables, passable soundtrack, worth a try for fans.

Story
★★★★★
"Anecdotal"
The sequel keeps the principle of a single table unrolled vertically but replaces the demonic imagery with a dark fantasy world: dragons, fallen knights, crypts. The table elements animate on contact with the ball and some enemies leave their place to interfere with its path.
The writing stays in the grave register set by the first instalment but opens further to melody: constructed themes, marked harmonic progressions, a few almost heroic passages. Sonic continuity from one table to the next is maintained, preserving the idea of a single coherent place.

Dragon's Revenge (Mega Drive) price, value & rarity
Dragon's Revenge is the sequel to the video pinball Dragon's Fury, itself a port of Japan's Devil's Crush, and this Tengen-published Japanese edition forms a regional variant distinct from the Western releases. The title is noted for the quality of its single fantasy table and presentation, earning steady demand among 16-bit pinball fans, a small but loyal niche. Its scarcity owes to the limited Japanese print run of a genre that sold modestly on the archipelago.
