I started by sending my CV to the Bitmap Brothers, eventually it ended up at Warner Interactive where I was employed as a Junior Games Tester on a month by month contract in July 1996 and first tested PO'ed on the Sony PlayStation. I also helped out quite a bit with the company's Customer Services department. GT Interactive bought out Warner (December 1996) and I was promoted to Senior Tester (working on games like Z+Z Expansion (PC), Pitball (PSX), Safecracker (PC), Oddworld: Abe's Oddysee (PC & PSX), Imperium Galactica 2 (PC). At GT I progressed to Lead Tester (leading on such titles are Total Annihilation plus both add-on packs and Kingdoms (PC), Unreal Tournament (PC), Oddworld: Abe's Exoddus (PC & PSX), and Sensible Soccer (PC & PSX) then Code Supervisor (in charge of code and mastering of every GT Europe title). Then Infogrames bought GT (late 1999) and I eventually left to become The Bitmap Brothers' Webmaster/QA Tester in March 2000, working on Speedball 2100 (PSX) and Z: Steel Soldiers (PC).
