It was rereleased on Nintendo's Wii console as a Virtual Console game. The game will soon be remade into a WiiWare game later on this year that will feature updated graphics and online leaderboards.

[edit] Story
There is not much of a story. The pinball game has an outerspace, alien theme. The styling is very similar to the movie Alien. Essentially, you are “fighting” against the aliens with your pinball skills.
[edit] Gameplay
The play field of Alien Crush consists of two main screens arranged vertically, with a pair of flippers at the bottom of each. The play stops momentarily as the ball shifts from one screen to the next. There are several hidden/bonus rooms. These hidden rooms mainly involve destroying all the aliens (or several waves of aliens) for bonus points. You are given the choice of fast or slow (ball speed) and two different music tracks.
