Robotron Hisory and Secret Screens

As part of my Robotron addiction I have been doing some research on the game and its creators, Eugene Jarvis and LArry Demar. I came across some interesting videos on youtube of the creators talking about the game and their enthusiasm for the games chaotic pace. I especially like when Jarvis is talking about "grabbing the game by the joysticks and banging it up against the wall in rage." Fun stuff. Check out these videos.

Mystic Marathon - I had to add this video in after hearing Jarvis mention it. I actually have been trying to track downt the name of this game for ages. My local arcade when I was growing up in Florida at the Orlando Mall had this game and I used to love it. Check it out if you have never heard of it.
