==Personal life==
Outside engineering and video game development, Crane was an avid [[tennis]] player. Crane had played tournament tennis for decades, as well as playing in doubles with Alan Miller.{{sfn|Drury|2021|p=91}} While working at Absolute, Crane felt his video game career did not allow him to play enough tennis and enrolled at an expert tennis class at [[Cañada College]].{{sfn|Drury|2021|p=91}} Crane said that during his adult life, he performed at the rating of 5.0 on the NTRP (National Tennis Rating Program) scale, a standardized scale Crane described as being from 1.0 for beginner to "7.0 for [[Roger Federer]]".{{sfn|Hunt|2010|p=92}} In 2010, Crane said he still plays tennis in tournament league competitions, but due to age and injuries he is no longer at the 5.0 level.{{sfn|Hunt|2010|p=92}}

Despite his love for the sport, Crane stated he never had interest in developing a tennis-themed game until he began developing games for the Super Nintendo, specifically with ''[[David Crane's Amazing Tennis]]''.{{sfn|Drury|2021|p=91}}
