Hello,

Just wanted to say thanks for registering at www.retrovideogamer.co.uk we have noticed you have not made your first post yet. You account is active and ready to go, so why not come along and say a big hello to some fellow retro heads.

Sorry for not introducing myself.  I have worked in the Game Industry for the past 35+ years on Apple II, Apple IIgs, Nintendo, Super Nintendo, Game Boy, Game Boy Color, Nintendo DS, and for the last 5 years iOS games.  You can listen to my RVG interview: http://www.retrovideogamer.co.uk/http://www.retrovideogamer.co.uk/forum/viewtopic.php?t=2

Many Thanks Ed for making the time to say hello in your busy work, and we hope you find RVG a place to come and relax and relive some old memories with like minded individuals, hopefully you won't be a stranger

All the Best.

Special thanks for the interviews and Gamasutra article regarding Skittleball.  I'm just now starting to think about making for-pay games.  It's really helpful to have developers who are so open about the process and pitfalls

[EdMagnin]

Most of the good game developers I've worked with over the years take time out to help mentor those trying to get into the industry. 

Try to attend GDC (Game Developers Conference) sometime.  If money's an issue, as it usually is, apply for the IGDA Scholarships to GDC. Students who attended GDC in the past looked around the room and saw that they weren't that different from those already working in the industry.  They came back inspired to finish their studies so they could pursue their dream.
