Maniacs Try To Beat 100 Games In Charity Speed Run Marathon
What are you doing over the next few days? Do you plan on beating a few games? Big deal. The guys at Speed Demos Archive are running through their second Awesome Games Done Quick charity event, in which a rotating group attempts to plow through 100 classic games over the course of a few days. As impressive as that is already, they're doing it to earn money for cancer prevention.
They started out on Thursday with Super Mario Galaxy 2, and they're wrapping it up with a run through Kingdom Hearts 2 on Tuesday. In between, you can see them tear through games like Myst, Blast Corps, and Double Dragon on their live feed. You can check it all out live here, or visit their online schedule for an idea of what's ahead over the next few days.
If you're a weirdo like me who really likes watching other people play games, this feed is concentrated bliss. What are you waiting for? Get over there!
I’d like to ask you to support Game Informer’s continued coverage of games with a subscription. For less than two dollars per issue, we mail you a full year of 10 print magazines, each with cover stories and preview features filled with exclusive details about the most exciting upcoming games. We profile and interview game creators. We look back on the rich history of gaming, and we celebrate what’s next.
Here on the website, we offer much of our content for free, including game reviews, daily news, videos, event coverage, and more – all with minimal ads.
We do so with a small editorial team, alongside contributing paid writers from around the world – over 65 individuals from 9 countries around the world, just in the last couple of years.
It’s not possible without support.
In a time when game makers and games coverage have faced hard struggles and layoffs, the future of this 30+ year magazine and community is at risk. Our new standalone magazine subscription is the number one way you can keep us alive – and we believe you’ll get a pretty fantastic gaming magazine in your mailbox every few weeks for your trouble.
Thank you.
