Games Done Quick: le speedrun più memorabili tra beneficenza e sfide estreme

Games Done Quick (GDQ) hosts charity events such as Awesome Games Done Quick (AGDQ) and Summer Games Done Quick (SGDQ), which are streamed on Twitch and focus on completing video games as quickly as possible. SGDQ 2024 raised $2.5 million for Doctors Without Borders and featured a dog playing Ken Griffey Jr. Presents Major League Baseball (1994). Artribune highlighted five memorable runs, including Punchy's Baba Is You (2019) at SGDQ 2020, which showcased game mechanics and a secret ending. Tool-Assisted Speedruns (TAS) utilize software; in 2015, Pokémon Red (1996) was hacked live via Twitch chat. Kaizo games, originating from T. Takemoto's Jisaku no Kaizō Mario (Super Mario World), are designed to be extremely challenging. At AGDQ 2020, Andy played The Legend of Zelda: A Link to the Past (1991) with randomized items and audience influence. GDQ also features quirky games, such as those played by Lizstar. The upcoming event, Flame Fatales 2024, will take place from August 18-25, 2024, focusing on female speedrunners and fundraising for the Malala Fund.
