Description: Gottlieb Crescendo pinball (5/70), Gottlieb Groovy pinball (7/70). Same game, just different number of players (4 players versus 2 players). Gottlieb sold this game design in the two flavors, though they are essentially the exact same game (with slight artwork differences). The 2 player version (Crescendo) had a lower price, and was marketed to game operators with less money to spend. Crescendo is one of the rare cases where the 2-player game is as desirable than the 4-player Hi-Score game, due to the backglass artwork. Also Crescendo was the first Gottlieb game to use conventional style drop targets. They made 1175 Gottlieb Crescendo pinballs, and 1355 Gottlieb Groovy pinball machines.
