| 4 | ''Bad Omen'' (a.k.a. ''Devilish'' in the USA; no relation to [[Literature/{{Devilish}} the book of the same name]]) is a very interesting take on the Breakout Clone genre, on the Sega Mega Drive/Genesis. The player controls two different paddles (or each player controls one paddle), one of which can change height and orientation. |

| 7 | !!''[=Bad Omen=]'' displays examples of: |
| 8 | * BattleCouple: As stone paddles, the prince and princess work together to smash the blue ball into their enemies. |
| 9 | * BigDamnHeroes: Just when it seems like all hope is lost for the prince & princess to have a happy life, the blue sphere comes to their rescue. |
| 10 | * BreakingOut |
| 11 | * CueTheSun: The ending. |
| 12 | * DarkerAndEdgier: Most Breakout clones don't have a dark evil/gothic/horror theme... or much of any concrete theme at all. |
| 13 | * DeusExMachina: A mysterious blue sphere, which the prince & princess can use to fight back against evil, just happens to fall from the sky. |
| 14 | * EvilCounterpart: [[spoiler: The final boss shoot out blue spheres similar to your own.]] |
| 15 | * EvilIsVisceral: [[spoiler: The final boss is a beating heart.]] |
| 16 | * ExcusePlot: The introduction text is absolutely hilarious. |
| 17 | * GreenEyedMonster: The evil demon is jealous about the fact that a prince & princess can be happy. |
| 18 | * HoistByHisOwnPetard: The evil demon should have thought of something else to turn the prince & princess into. |
| 19 | * LethalLavaLand: The volcano stage, complete with volcanoes shooting out fireballs. |
| 20 | * LuckyCharmsTitle: The name of the demon. |
| 21 | * MysteriousProtector: Nothing is ever explained about the mysterious blue sphere. |
| 22 | * NoOntologicalInertia: [[spoiler: Defeating the evil demon results in the prince & princess turning back into human form once they get back to their kingdom.]] |
| 23 | * TakenForGranite: The prince & princess are cursed to be stone paddles. The cover art indicates that they are actually statues who are stuck onto the bottoms of gigantic stone paddles. |
| 24 | * TurnsRed: All of the bosses of the "defeat" type. |
| 25 | * WombLevel: [[spoiler: The final boss battle takes place in one of these, complete with a big beating demon heart.]] |
