Ed Logg
George Edward Logg (born 1948 in Seattle) is a retired American arcade video game designer, first employed at Atari and later at Atari Games. He currently resides in Los Altos, California.
Career
Logg was impressed with the Atari 2600 (then known as "Atari Video Computer System") and joined Atari's coin-op division and worked on Dirt Bike, which was never released due to an unsuccessful field test. He developed Super Breakout after hearing that Nolan Bushnell, co-founder of Atari, wanted Breakout updated. He co-developed the video game Asteroids with Lyle Rains. Other games designed or co-designed by Logg include Centipede, Millipede, the Gauntlet series (with inspiration from John Palevich's Dandy), Wayne Gretzky's 3D Hockey and the San Francisco Rush series.
Legacy
In 2012, Logg was awarded a Pioneer Award by the Academy of Interactive Arts and Sciences for being among those who "laid the foundations of the multi-billion dollar videogame industry." Logg was listed at number 43 in IGN's top 100 game creators of all time.

Eight Lock
by: GWARNo one to see
Nowhere to go
Nothing to do
No one to know
Eighth lock
Eighth lock
Nothing will live
Nothing will grow
No one will care
No one will know
Eighth lock
You can never win
You only get out
By not going in
They put me down into the ground
Lost without taste, without sound
Beneath the barren mound
They put me in a place they call eighth lock
Eighth lock
But i'm getting stronger
Eighth lock
Not very much longer
No one to see
Nowhere to go
Nothing to do
No one to know
Eighth lock
Eighth lock
Nothing will live
Nothing will grow
No one will care
No one will know
Eighth lock
You can never win
You only get out
By not going in
Who the hell am i?
Yeah, yeah, yeah...
And what did you do to my hangs?
I'm getting stronger...
They built this place with steel
And painted it with mud
It's constantly on fire
They put it out with blood
They said it was a prison
But became so much more
The maze it built into itself
They had to bar the door
Bar the door!
Quickly you fools!
Nothing to do
Nowhere to go
The floating eyeball is to be feared
The pupil hides a maw
They say that children run this place
That's how they missed the fatal flaw
Eigth lock
You never can win
You only get out
By not going in
No one to see
Nowhere to go
Nothing to do
Eigth lock
You never can win
You only get out
By not going in
No one to see
Nowhere to go
Nothing to do
No one to know
When you come to eighth lock
It's like some vile re-birth
Where devils delve into your life
And demons deem it's worth
The food comes through a hole
My cellmate is a troll
The warden he has hooks for hands
We all play our roles
We all play our roles
Or wind up on a pole
Eighth lock
A diabolic construct
As flesh runs rife with worms
Somehow flesh and metal merge
As bloated larvae squirms
The things within they made with rules
They steal the soulds of those
They think are fit to play...
Their hateful games
