Eric Pribyl was the lead programmer on each of the original arcade versions of the Cruis'n games, including Cruis'n USA (1994), Cruis'n World (1996) and Cruis'n Exotica (2000). Earlier he worked on the arcade game Strike Force (1989). Each of the games were produced by Midway Games, which went under the names 'Midway', 'WMS' and Williams.

Eric has since left the games industry and is writing his code for Segway.
