Awesome Games Done Quick sets new record, by raising $3.1 million for the Prevent Cancer Foundation


Awesome Games Done Quick has launched last week its annual speedrunning marathon. Today, this marathon came to the end and AGDQ has set a new record by raising more than $3.1 million for the Prevent Cancer Foundation.

In this year’s event, AGDQ had speedruns for three of the best 2019 games; Control, Devil May Cry 5, Sekiro and The Legend of Zelda: Link’s Awakening 2019 Remake. Alongside these games, there were also some classic speedruns like the NES versions of Mega Man, Donkey Kong Country 3 and Sonic 3 & Knuckles.

I personally enjoyed the Control speedrun which was full of glitches and out of bounds tricks. The team-speedrun for Super Mario Maker 2 was also amazing, as was the DOOM 2016 speedrun. Moreover, the “2 players 1 controller blindfolded” speedrun for “Mike Tyson’s Punch-Out!!” was amazing.

You can find the entire speedrun marathon event below (in case you missed any of the aforementioned speedruns).

Enjoy and congrats to AGDQ!
