every kid in the 90s wanted to be a game tester once we knew the profession existed.
Can confirm, was kid in the 90s. Sadly the reality of working in the industry did not measure up. Same as being a paleontologist, strangely enough.
“Man… I became a paleontologist in the hopes that, one day, a billionaire would need my help creating a theme park full of dinosaur clones. It hasn’t happened yet and I’m starting to worry it never will.”
Don’t give up hope. “Life, uhh, finds a way.”
I read that it wasn’t really that fun to be a tester back then and especially now. Imagine having to play a level over and over and over again, then having to fill out sheets about what is wrong with it.
And that infamous commercial https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BRWvfMLl4ho really oversold it.
I had never thought about recording it on a VCR. That was interesting.
