About

Crüe Ball is a 1992 pinball video game developed by American studio NuFX and published by Electronic Arts for the Sega Genesis. Themed to glam metal band Mötley Crüe, it features three of their songs: "Dr. Feelgood," "Live Wire," and "Home Sweet Home."

The game's prototype name was Twisted Flipper. The producer of the game, Richard Robbins, initially pursued the name Headbangers Ball, but MTV balked at a license and Mötley Crüe was added relatively late in development.

Reception

A review for Mean Machines found the inertia of the ball realistic, but lacked variety, comparing it unfavourably with Dragon's Fury. In a CVG review it was called "the second best Megadrive pinball game around - out of two!".
