The Speed Demos Archive is once again raising money by speed running through various games very quickly! Gathering donations for the Prevent Cancer foundation a team of gamers, this year including our very own Denmark, will be quickly working their way through a various amount of games from Jan 6th through the 12th. In fact it's a whole whooping 115 games to be played!

If you donate you may also have a chance to get some prizes! Some of the highlighted games are:

Super Mario Bros. 3 and Super Mario World
Zelda II: The Adventure of Link, Zelda: A Link to the Past, Zelda: Ocarina of Time, and Zelda: Wind Waker

Of course there are many more than that but as you can see Final Fantasy IX is their very last game. That's right! After a week, FF IX will be there to end the whirlwind of gaming with a bang! If you're interested, there are various prizes you can win merely by watching and donating. The IX play will be separated into two time slots. Fri Jan 11 2013 09:25:00 GMT-0600 (Central Standard Time) and Sat Jan 12 2013 16:05:00 GMT-0600 (Central Standard Time). They must be trying for the Excalibur II! Let's hope they get it!

During those times you'll have a chance to win prizes! During the first round of IX you can win:

This looks really cool, and it's even for a good cause! It's certainly an ambitious schedule, and I wish them the best of luck. Hopefully Denmark will be one of the ones playing FFIX.
