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' was the first Gottlieb game to have drop targets of the modern style where the entire surface that the ball hits is what drops down. An earlier, different version was used 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'.
