The Academy of Interactive Arts & Science honored game industry trailblazer Eugene Jarvis as its sixth Pioneer Award recipient. Jarvis is best known for his work in the arcade era, with such seminal games as Defender, Stargate, and Robotron: 2084. His work in the coin-op industry made an indelible mark on gaming with many of his designs, triggers and pacing elements featured in video and mobile games today. His classic games are known for extreme action and challenge with highly specialized controls. Jarvis combined this intense twitch-based action with tactical and strategic challenges, creating a deeply addictive and primal game experience.

The AIAS Pioneer Award is reserved for individuals whose career-spanning work has helped shape and define the interactive entertainment industry through the creation of a technological approach or the introduction of a new genre.
