Eugene Jarvis - Arcade Legend - Podcast Interview - Creator of Robotron: 2084, Defender & Smash TV

This is probably my favourite interview to date as I have a long and in-depth chat with arcade, Atari and Williams legend Eugene Jarvis.

Eugene shares some great stories of working at Atari, what it was like working with Nolan Bushnell, creating Defender and Stargate. He also talks what inspired him to make Robotron: 2084, Smash T.V. and loads more. He also looks at his current work at Raw Thrills where he keeping arcades alive with amazing innovations.  He also talks about his views on the Jeff Minter's Defender 2000 on the Jaguar.

The 1 hour 30 mins chat with Arcade Attack is honest, funny and really insightful. I would be so honoured if you checked it out and shared your feedback. The links to various platforms are listed below:

I haven't yet listened to it yet (but will do so soon! I've straight away subscribed to your youtube-channel, though), but I'd already like to mention how good it is that you let people download the mp3. I have an old school mp3 player that uses a microSD-card and it can't connect to the internet. It's annoying as hell when you can only stream a podcast you would really like to listen to. So, thanks, looking forward to the interview!
