Machine Description
Cross Town was released by D. Gottlieb & Co. in 1966. Designed by Ed Krynski with art by Art Stenholm it featured a backglass animation with subway doors that closed opon a hapless tuba player with bystanders lauging at his predicament. Stenholm had replaced the recently deceased Roy Parker as the artist contracted to do all Gottlieb's work from 1965 to 1970.
Parker was known for his humorous details and instilled Stenholm with the bug to carry on the tradition. They worked together on several games before Roy's passing as can be seen in games like Cowpoke, Buckaroo and North Star which exhibit characteristic styles of both artists.
