1.-3. Januar, 2010 - 72 Games
Speed Demos Archive, the home to video game speed runs, is proud to present our first speed running marathon: Classic Games Done Quick, a 2-day event held at Magfest 8, played for charity and streamed live for the world to see.
As the name suggests, this year's theme is classic games, and our runners mean business! We'll be plowing through more than 70 games in 2 days using nothing but our skills and plenty of speed tricks. Of course, all games will be played on their original hardware with no cheating, and most will also feature commentators giving highlights along the way.
We're not just showing off, though – what better reason to play games than to help people in need? While playing, we'll be accepting your donations to CARE, our partner for this event.
MAGFest (Music and Games Festival) is an annual event held in Alexandria, VA by gamers and for gamers.
This January marks MAGFest's 8th iteration – come on out to hear the music, play the games, and support SDA!
If you don't plan to attend MAGFest, worry not: we'll be streaming the entire marathon here on SDA via Ustream for you to watch at home.
The 2-day stream starts at 6:00 PM (EST) on Friday, January 1! For more details, check out the schedule.
