I Met Eugene Jarvis!
(1/6) > >>
KevSteele:
Yeah, this is uber-nerdy of me, but I finally met my own personal "gaming god," Eugene Jarvis, at this year's Pinball Expo.

For those who don't recognize the name, Mr. Jarvis is the creator of Defender, Stargate, and Robotron (among many other classic vids). He now works at Raw Thrills, and has been responsible for games such as Target: Terror and The Fast and the Furious.

Robotron was the game that defined an era for me. I literally played it until my hands bled. I totally geeked out with meeting Eugene Jarvis, but it was a great personal high for me.
zaphod:
Very cool!  Love the Robotron!
More Cowbell:
If you were Eugene Jarvis, wouldn't you wear a shirt around that said, "I INVENTED ROBOTRON! FRICKIN ROBOTRON! ARE YOU KIDDIN ' ME?! RO-BO-TRON! MINE!"

Also, there was a contest on Retroblast about a year ago for one of those inspirational posters.  A couple good ones with Jarvis IIRC.

Saint, did you get this in the Retroblast archive? Seems there are a couple of Gallery errors. Old Link Location

I'd love to see and get a few of those.
