Since it’s about a week and a half away, I figured now is a good time to promote the Speed Gamers Metroid Marathon, taking place March 12th through the 15th.
For those of you who don’t know, while The Speed Gamers may or may not have been the first group to do gaming marathons for charity, they’re definitely the group who popularized the concept. On a somewhat more personal level, even though some people at Speed Demos Archive–including myself–were rather critical of some of the gameplay in their marathons, they were still cool enough to send two of their ranks, Phil and Baltes, to Virginia to help out with the SDA Marathon back in January.
So a little bit more about this marathon in particular. They’ll be playing through every game in the Metroid series in a span of 72 hours. They’re trying to raise $15,000 for the Halton Autistic Family Support Group.

Hey– just curious, at MagFest were you able to complete the expert challenge of defeating the crab boss in Blaster Master with a no-power gun? I’m playing through it again and man, it’s ROUGH!
