Historical Notes
The backglass displays the manufacturer's name and address in an artful way, an unusual variance from the standard block font that Gottlieb typically used. 'Crescendo' is the first game from this manufacturer to have drop targets of the modern style where the entire surface that the ball hits is what drops down. The first game from any manufacturer to have this style of drop target is Williams' 1962 'Vagabond'. A different type of drop target appeared earlier on Gottlieb's 1951 'Minstrel Man' and Gottlieb's 1951 'Wild West'. The 4-player version of this game is Gottlieb's 1970 'Groovy'. Also produced as a single-player Italian version Gottlieb's 1970 'Psychedelic' but without the Free ball return lane.
