Eugene Jarvis headed the team that developed the classic arcade game "Robotron 2084," among others.

lyrics

DEAR MR. JARVIS I'M IMPRESSED
BY YOUR UNIQUE ACCOMPLISHMENTS
I SPEAK NOT IN JEST FOR I TRULY AM
INDEBTED TO YOU MY GOOD MAN
FOR YOUR CREATION BROUGHT SALVATION
TO AN EMPHATICALLY BORED NATION
STATIONED FAR AHEAD OF THE PACK
LET'S PAUSE AND TAKE A BRIEF LOOK BACK
AT WHAT YOU'VE DONE - IN '81 YOU BLESSED THE WORLD WITH ROBOTRON
THEN YOU PROBABLY DID LOTS OF COOL SHIT AFTER THAT
BUT LET'S NOT STRAY FROM THE FACT THAT
METAPHORICALLY SPEAKING ROBOTRON HOLDS DEEP FELT MEANING
URGING MANKIND TO STRUGGLE THROUGH TIME AGAINST ODDS THAT ARE WHOLLY SUBLIME

EUGENE JARVIS - YOU'RE THE BEST
INVENTOR OF INSANE MAN'S CHESS
I MUST DECLARE WITH NO HINT OF SHAME
ROBOTRON IS THE GREATEST VIDEO GAME
EVER MADE - I HAVEN'T PLAYED A GAME MORE CHALLENGING IN DECADES
KEEP UP THE GOOD WORK KIND SIR
SINCERELY YOURS - THE BASSTURD
