Summer Games Done Quick is going on right now. Seriously, you should be watching it on Twitch. The week-long speedrunning marathon raises money for Doctor’s Without Borders, and it has already gathered more than $500,000. Speedruns involve people trying to beat games as fast as possible, and it’s become a sort of spectator sport online. The event goes until Sunday. You can donate here.
It’s amazing watching people dominate any game in a speedrun, but much of the Games Done Quick roster focuses on retro titles. The event gives me a chance to see some of my favorite games get the speedrun treatment. It helps me relive those experiences while showing me a level of competency I could never match.
