Old games are still the best!" So claim the ever-growing cult of retrogamers. Are they right? Or are they just suffering from nostalgia? One man who sees both sides of the story is Midway's Eugene Jarvis, who — as designer of 1 980's Defender and last year's Cruis'n USA — has been in the business for 20 years. So, Eugene... HIP OR HVP€? "In the late '70s and \ early '80s , it was like being Elvis — the first 'rock and roll guy' — or Beatles..." the , M-geneiation.com/ talking n compiling the definitive all-time Top 1 00 of computer and videogames (page 36), the staff of Next Generation constantly found itself comparing new games to old. And this led to arguments. Certainly, such pioneering classics as Defender, Galax'tans, Pac-Man, Robotron, Asteroids, and Space Invaders were great fun at the time, and deserve massive credit for breaking new gaming ground. But compared to 1 996's state-of- the-art, do they still really cut the mustard? We concluded that some did, and some didn't (and, as usual, our decisions are destined to spark controversy). But the debate is only destined to increase in vehemence, as the retrogaming cult gathers more and more momentum. One man who's had a videogame insider's perspective from the very beginning to the present day is the outspoken Eugene Jarvis. Jarvis' Defender and Robotron are undisputed classics (he's even got his own fan page, check out http://www.cs.uregina.ca/~bakay/jarvis/jarvis.html) while his Cruis'n USA is one of Nintendo's key titles in the launch of Nintendo 64. Next Generation met with Jarvis at Midway's Chicago headquarters to talk oldies, goldies, and the future of videogaming. Golden oldies NG: Do you think that the old arcade games regarded as "classics" have realty survived the test of time? Or are we just looking through the rose-colored spectacles of nostalgia? Eugene: No, some of those old games really still are a lot of fun. I'm kinda biased, but I still play Robotron two or three times every day. Some of the newer game designers who I work with — kids who are just 20 or 21 years old — are getting into Robotron for the first time. They are almost surprised to discover that it's got some great action, great play mechanics, and, perhaps most important of all, I think, great tension. The essence of the videogame is survival of the fittest. So when playing a game, it's the game versus just you and your survival instinct — and that's the most powerful instinct a human being gBneraUon.com/ talking were the very first games in that style. Nothing like them had ever appeared before. We went from a blank screen to a game. Now, Daytona USA's leap from Pole Position isn't as big as Pole Position's leap from nothing at all. So, perhaps it's inevitable that even though Daytona USA is a superior game, people aren't as excited by it as when Pole Position first appeared. The late 70s and early '80s was a time when a lot of these genres and game styles were formulated. It was like being the first Elvis — the first "rock and roll guy" — or the Beatles. We had an open field, and the most obviously powerful concepts were soon exploited. Since then, game designers have had little choice but to build on existing concepts — as most of the choice virgin real estate was gobbled up years ago. NG: But that doesn't mean that the gameplay has. The will to live overrides everything. has to stay stagnant So, in my opinion, the essence of a great Eugene: Sure. Daytona USA is essentially Pole videogame is to exploit that instinct, to really get Position with better graphics.
