Interview: Jennifer Brozek

[Melf]

Ever want to be a video game tester? It seems much easier now, with all the special training and courses being offered nationwide, but back during the 16-bit era, getting into the business wasn't so easy. Sega-16 recently sat down for some Q & A with Jennifer Brozek (http://www.sega-16.com/2006/10/interview-jennifer-brozek/), a former Genesis game tester, and she gave us some great insight about what it was like to work on some of our favorite games!

Nice interview. Always wondered what it was like to be a tester.

Great stuff, very informative! Good to hear a SEGA-16 perspective interview with someone who really was in the thick of it. I hope to weasel my way into the industry somehow, someday, from the marketing side. Testing would be great, but I really can't afford to downgrade from salary w/benefits to an hourly job...

Me, as I'm headed into college to eventually be a game designer, this helped figure out what to do as a starting point. Good interview, very funny and candid.

Awesome interview. I always imagined testing games to be one of my dream jobs (a bit like testing beds or cups of coffee) but after reading her interview I reckon you need a lot more patience than I possess!

ive tested lots of GBA games but not for nintendo but for a game shop,believe me it sucks.

[Genesis Knight]

That was a great change of pace from the usual management/corporate interviews.
