Design by: Ed Krynski
Art by: Art Stenholm
Notes: Compare playfield layout to Gottlieb's 1961 'Flipper Fair'.

Pictured in this listing is a Sample game with serial number 01017 S. Both it and the game shown the manufacturer's flyer have a playfield that differs from production games as follows:
• the information above the Special insert does not contain the words "Target Value".
• the Special insert is red, not purple.
• the outlane inserts are purple, not white.
The only other difference we noticed is the placement in the backbox of the replay adjustment card on the inside wall instead of on the insert.

Cross Town and its add-a-ball version, Gottlieb's 1966 'Subway', were the last Gottlieb games to have the manual ball-lift.
