Details regarding the 72 hour Metroid Marathon that starts on March 12th at 6 pm cst:
We, TheSpeedGamers, are based in the DFW Texas area and play video games to raise money for different causes. We have been a group for nearly two years now and have raised approximately $125,000 for various causes.
Our events typically last 72 hours continuously in which we broadcast ourselves over the internet playing video game franchise’s to their completion while also providing video commentary. There is a chat room that accompanies the video game feed so that the viewers can interact with the players and other viewers. Everything can be viewed on TheSpeedGamers.com.

During the Metroid marathon we will be raising money for Halton Autistic Family Support Group .
Donations will be gathered using a chip in widget; debit, credit cards and paypal can be used to donate.

Game list and order:

  • Metroid (NES VC) Oscar
  • Metroid Zero Mission (GBA) Daniel
  • Metroid Prime 1: Tim
  • Metroid Prime Hunters (DS): Phil
  • Metroid Prime 2(Blind Run): Britt, Heath, Rob
  • Metroid Prime 3 : Baltes
  • Metroid 2 (GB): Tim
  • Super Metroid: Cameron
  • Metroid Fusion (GBA): Daniel

Additional info:
Our goal will be $15,000. The chipin widget will go up Tuesday March. 9th. So far as prizes we have several Metroid Metal Cd’s to give away to viewers. More prizes will be announced as we get closer to the marathon.

    Funny note to anyone who missed it. Jagger finished the marathon with a speed run of Zero Mission. His time was “only 5 minutes” over the speed run record. Perfect ending.
