DePaul?[edit]

Mr. Jarvis is now on the DePaul University staff. Not much information is available, but he is listed as part of the CTI staff. As evidenced by this page, he is indeed the game designer and not someone with the same name. How much information is needed before adding this to his biography? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 68.20.11.241 (talk) 03:29, 30 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Stamp[edit]

The game shown on the US stamp is in fact the home Atari 2600 console version of Defender, which was programmed by Bob Polaro and not by Eugene Jarvis. 12.145.98.2 (talk) 00:57, 16 June 2010 (UTC)[reply]

An adaptation is still the work of the original creator. Coding is only a small part of game design. oknazevad (talk) 22:44, 21 September 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Distinctive look and feel?[edit]

Should there be any discussion about the signature look of Jarvis' games? I always know when I'm playing one of his games - tight controls, hyperactive graphics, psychadelic text, chunky fonts, etc. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 96.253.146.80 (talk) 06:03, 15 November 2010 (UTC)[reply]
