4. Is Link right handed or left handed?

5. What's Proto Man's name in Japan?

6. What does Ryu's name mean?

7. What was Mario's original occupation

I was going to put in the html for a guest book, but it wouldn't let me, and your html... doesn't work, it comes up, but as all the html coding. What is dreamweaver? Is it a html editor like front page?

I am telling you now that that is no easy task, computer games programming is extremely hard, yes worse then those welsh sign posts when you don't know what the f... they are going on about. However, there is a silver line, in the fact that if you are determind you will succeed. What I would advise would for you to spend £50 on a C++ teach yourself programme, the book does look huge to begin with but it gets you extremely good at the language. Try to find a 'SAMMS TEACH YOURSELF C++ in 21 Days' obviously I wouldn't recommend you do it in 21 days, as I just about did it in three months. Then with this and a few good grades, go to the nearest company and strut your stuff, if you have done the full 21 day thing, then you are a guarenteed employee.
Eidos don't have a college and I have never heard of one for a company. Also don't try for the Programmer straight away, do something like Games Testing and work your way up.

That should help.

to cut it short, last summer I was asked by Nintendo to play a few games for them, why? because I (no lie) was the first ever member of UK club Nintendo, and after 13 years they asked me to do this, then after that they offered me a job after I had finished my education. Meanwhile I had to find a job to support my thirst for games, EIDOS PLC. in Wimbledon is only 2 minutes walk away, my dad already knew one of the people there and I applied, they turned me down, so I sent them an email with the information that I received for Nintendo, Eidos then apoligised and asked me to be a Games Tester until June. So at the moment I am kind of a Part Time games tester, who doesn't have to work, because Eidos hope that I stay with them for some strange reason. Th
