Do you know where I might go to find out information on becoming a video game tester? A website or so. Are there video game testers these days? Ever seen that movie, The Wizard where Fred Savage called the guys at Nintendo, the guys at Nintendo who sat around playing games for hours and help with Nintendo products and Nintendo fans? Well thats like my dream job. To test video games (or toys), but not just for Nintendo, cause isnt Nintendo no longer around? Well if you could help me out, that would be great. :wink: Thanks!

Huh? Nintendo is very much still out there. Who do you think makes the Gamecube and the Gameboy Advance? In fact last summer Nintendo was hiring people to play games at demonstrations in malls and stuff.

You would think it would be a dream job, but think of all the crappy games you would have to force yourself to play through, cuz it's your job?! Never do anything you enjoy as work, you will begin to hate it!

My aunt used to work for NES in Chicago for the turbo grafx 16 system. She worked on setting up the instruction booklets and marketing. They had a few guys who worked in the office and all they did was play turbo ALL DAY. I was still in high school at the time but would've quit school to do that job. Of course it never happened. She may still have some of the prototypes of some turbo games. Do you think anyone would be interested? I remember one was all in japanese (think it was bomberman?)
