David Perry Comments: Eugene Jarvis is certainly one of the pioneers of our industry, he developed the Arcade Machine Defender with Steve Ritchie, he also made Robotron (one of cult historical games of all time), he even worked on Smash TV (a game I converted to the Sinclair Spectrum in the United Kingdom, and annoyingly never got to meet Eugene!) He now has his own Arcade Company called Raw Thrills.
How well has he done? Well, he managed to win the Life Time Achievement Award in 2005 at the Game Developers Conference. The winner is picked from the ENTIRE HISTORY of the Video Game Business!
I feel honored to be a friend of his, and yet still every time I meet him, his eyes light up and he rushes over to say "Hello", he's an extremely friendly, passionate guy that seems to make time for everybody. He also loves to joke around (as you will see in his interview.) He lives and breathes games and he's still designing Arcade machines to this day.
