I swear I wish I was making this one up, but, leave it to good old Nintendo to beat me to the punch. This game appears on a multicart I happen to own. This is also one of the more kickass titles on the cart. I really don't have that much more to say about this one until we dig into the screen shots, so...here we go!


This is, according to the title screen, Devil World. I didn't pick up on this until is was pointed out to me, but notice how this appears to be a title straight from the Big N themselves. This is the same company that brought us incomparable classics like the Legend of Zelda, and Donkey Kong Jr. Math. It's the same company whose American counterpart made sure SNES owners were treated to a G-rated and incredibly shitty Mortal Kombat; the same company that, well, just look at the N64. And yet, it's the same company that slapped their copyright info on this game. Go Nintendo!


Who needs fancy, cinematic storylines? Not me, that's for sure, and the Ooki N said the same thing. Before you go on, take a second to think about what the game is going to be like, based on this screen alone. Got an image in mind? Now throw it at the wall and watch it shatter into 5 or 6 pieces, 2 of which will inevitably fly into your roommate's eye.

Yep. I said I wish I was making this up. You've got what looks like a cross between Bubble Bobble and Pacman, adorned at the top of the screen by the devil, with red wings and matching red underwear. Now notice in the pic on the right that I haven't yet been able to eat any of the dots. Want to know why? (Get ready for this)

YOU NEED TO GRAB THE CROSS before you can do anything! Now, my brother, He wants YOU to grab the cross of life, He wants YOU to eat the dots that get in your way!...
He wants YOU to eat the ice cream that flots around the screen periodically! He wants YOU to shoot fire from the crosses you carry!

He wants YOU to keep eating dots until the walls flash in their Pacmanesque glory! He wants YOU to notice the various positions the devil has taken in the past few shots! He wants YOU to know that the devil makes the screen scroll in the opposite direction of his pointing! He wants YOU to know you can be crushed by the walls! Can I get an amen, brothers?!
The second half of every round looks like this. If you thought the above few screen shots were fucked up, the point of this round is to grab the bibles from each of the 4 corners and put them in each of the 4 slots in that skull box in the center of the room, supposedly to seal up the devil.

And when you're successful at this task, the devil folds up and flies away, and out of your life for the time being, which until you finish this...

Yep, it's bonus round, humorously titled, Bonus Box.

Unfortunately, it's not very humorous at all. In fact, it's not very interesting. Just grab the boxes before time is up. Also notice that when you step on the arrows, the screen scrolls as if the devil was working his magic in this round too. I haven't been able to complete this very often, and if I remember to get a shot of what happens if you do complete this round, I'll post it.

That's basically the whole game. This is a shot of "Round 2", in which there are different wall colors and the game begins to move faster and faster. If you play this game long enough, your NES (or Famicom as the case may be) will start sending around the collection plate to all of you sinners out there...
...now you're more like an acquaintance.
