I remember showing this game to my parents as a reason why I wanted to get a TurboGrafx-16. Believe it or not, as a child, my family nickname was J.J. and my best friend is named Jeff (known him since Kindergarten). So the fact that someone made a game named J.J. and Jeff was an amazing coincidence. Too bad the game isn't that fun. I bought it from Ebay a few years ago and haven't really played it much. Jeff came over after I got it and he played it for a few minutes. I just didn't find it to be that much fun. (I also started/created the J.J. and Jeff entry on Wikipedia.)
I have this game for my TurboGrafx-16. (I also started/created the Wikipedia page for Devil's Crush.) The best thing about the VC version is that you can keep your high scores. The actual TurboChip doesn't save those. It is a great pinbal sim, but being that it is just pinball, if you aren't a pinball fan, I predict you'll get bored pretty quick.
I got my TurboGrafx-16 for Christmas when I was in high school. At the time, if you sent in your receipt and UPC code, you could get a free game. I still have it and the original box (with UPC code cut out). It still works like a dream and is one of the many systems I have hooked up. I loved my TG-16 and used to drool over the CD attachment and the TurboExpress handheld. I was really bummed when it began to fall behind in the console wars.
Many of the games that have come out on Virtual Console, I already have as a Turbochip (Blazing Lazers (the free game I got), Psychosis, Military Madness, J.J. and Jeff, R-Type, Legendary Axe, Bonk's Adventure and Bonk's Revenge, Alien and Devil's Crush and World Class Baseball.)
The PC Engine/TurboGrafx is THE BEST console for Shmup fans.
