Jarvis' video games offer design lessons in how to craft coin-operated game machines that survived and thrived even as the arcade was disappearing from the American landscape. Drawing upon interviews with Jarvis and his collaborators, scholarly reflections on game design, historic industry data, and archival documents, this book shows that Jarvis is the unparalleled "King of the Arcade" for his ability to craft gameplay experiences that cannot be replicated on home consoles or personal computers"--
