As was reported last night, Keith Robinson, who was a manager and video game producer at Mattel Electronics from 1981 – 1984 and worked on various Intellivision games, including Tron Solar Sailer<\/em> (1983), and President of Intellivision Productions, Inc., since 1997, passed away yesterday from heart and kidney failure at the age of 61. Keith also wrote and drew the weekly comic, Making It<\/em>, since 1985.<\/p>\n
