Quote:Introduction
Hello folks!
As you might have guessed by the name, this is a gaming related event held by myself and a close friend of mine, Greg. We will be playing through as many retro videogames as we possibly can from start to finish for a straight 24 hours. That means we'll have a lack of sleep to deal with.
We're raising money for the games based charity, Games Aid.

Who is going to be involved?
Games will be played out by me, Dazz, and my good friend Greg. We'll have assistance from another person (not yet confirmed) to deliver us food, drinks, and be a technical engineer with our live stream.
We're going to try and get some special guests voice in over Skype and show support through there, so you might hear from someone of interest to you too!

Can I watch?
We'll be streaming the event live online, so you can see the action of the game, as well as what me and Greg are up to during gameplay... Since we tend to really get into things.

Will you be aiming to beat records?
We aren't aiming to get high scores or even good scores, we simply plan to complete the games from start to finish. We're not really good enough to beat any records, since those are held by the best of the best...

Warnings?
The major warning is that you might hear some swearing during the stream, as that is generally the way we deal with frustrations within a game. You'll also witness some pig ignorance, but what else would you expect?

How can I donate?
You can donate using the Just Giving link to the right. Just Giving is a charity donations platform for causes such as this. Here is a basic rundown from the guys themselves;
Donating through JustGiving is simple, fast and totally secure. Your details are safe with JustGiving – they’ll never sell them on or send unwanted emails. Once you donate, they’ll send your money directly to the charity and make sure Gift Aid is reclaimed on every eligible donation by a UK taxpayer. So it’s the most efficient way to donate - I raise more, whilst saving time and cutting costs for the charity. So please dig deep and donate now.

I'm fairly certain you can donate from any country, and they accept paypal, so it's all good! Get donating!
More details will be revealed over the next couple months.

Spoiler

can i also suggest magical quest featuring mickey mouse for the SNES?
if you intend to go days with the marathon, that'll help to fill in some sleep time if you pull an all-nighter

though the game is only about an hour long and single player
