TalkBack / Re: SpeedGamers.com Hosts 72 Hour Zelda Speed Run for Charity

« on: March 12, 2009, 02:50:26 AM »

MSico from The Speed Gamers here, always a joy to see ourselves on Nintendo World Report, I've loved this site since it was PGC.

Four Swords, Link's Crossbow Training, Zelda's Adventure, Faces of Evil, Wand of Gamelon, Game and Watch, Wrist Watch and the Board Game...

The Game and Watch Zeldas all have dead batteries by this point, and we can't possibly stream Four Swords since it is exclusively multiplayer.

But we ARE doing Faces of Evil and Wand of Gamelon because I bought a working CDi from eBay. Zelda's Adventure, when a copy actually turns up for sale, runs around 200$, so if you'd like to donate it we'd be happy to play it. Which actually makes 15 Zelda games, although we aren't counting the CDi's in our ultimate total, they are merely a bonus to show our viewers with the extra time we'll have towards the end of the 72 hours.

TalkBack / Re: TheSpeedGamers play Metroid to benefit St. Jude

On behalf of The Speed Gamers, we'd like to thank everyone who tuned in, and especially NintendoWorldReport for posting an article about us. You've been in my bookmarks for years and it was a thrill to see us on your page!

We beat all the games in 48 hours, including Pinball as a bonus, and filled out the rest of the time going back to 100% Prime 1 and Super Metroid, and replay Zero Mission, Fusion, and the original NES game. Altogether we raised over 6000 dollars for St. Jude!

Check us out in two weeks for our big team-up with Starmen.net for a massive Earthbound SIEGE!

Edit: Forgot to mention, I was the player for Hunters... and while I didn't think it was boring, playing on the rig we made to show the gameplay nearly killed my wrist! I'm grateful I finished it in 4:21 because my left hand might have fallen off.
