You are probably thinking of Naegleria, remember that bonus stream as well.

I'd be happy to show off my amazing Zulula Easy% run on a marathon! Something tells me no one would actually want to watch it though

As an older gamer (32), I would love to see more obscure or older games added. The dos era gave us some real winners. Like xcom terror from the deep and ufo defense, leisure suit larry, and dr. Dragos madcap race (not sure on that exact title). I would love to see some shit like that. They should dedicate like 3 days of the event to obscure games done quick honestly. Might ramp up interest in games people have forgotten about.
Edit: also doom, kings quest, those old commander keen games, and more that i can't remember. Oh the nostalgia.

They really should speed run Putt Putt Goes to the Moon.

I played it when I was like 12 ... and it was the older, "typing version" and I didn't know English and my older brother told me to put in "take ring" and stuff and I didn't really get what it was all about!

Leisure suit larry certainly has an adult theme in it yes.
And I do believe I have seen Commander Keen speeding as a GDQ event, was a while ago tho.

commander keen 4 has definitely been run, 5 and 6 too IIRC but not 100% sure about that. 4 was in an earlier gdq, 5 and 6 would have been rather recent, agdq or sgdq 2015 probably

On this note, I went through the SGDQ 2016 playlist on YouTube, and I saw the Monster Bash speedrun. Good old Apogee games, I was surprised to see it in the lineup and never would have guessed half the stuff he pulled off doing the run. Definitely rolled the years back, would love to see more back from the day.

Capnclever is always worth a watch, and you'll see him on couches for pretty much all of the old school games. old school FPS block and elder scrolls dos games in this marathon.

To be fair, point and click adventure games (like leisure suit larry) make for poor speedruns imo (with a few exceptions, like Brossentia's hilarious Town with no Name run), and the xcom games, both old and new, are probably too long and rng heavy to be run in a marathon setting. Doom and commander keen are run every once in a while though.
|
Hm... as mentioned, there is a version of the first Leisure Suit Larry, that is non-point-and-click but you have to type the actions! So, it would be possible to speedrun it; it would be a little bit like "Typing of the Dead"!

ESA has started. Unfortunately they are struggling with technical problems. It began with no sound and stream is down now and then.

... but they are working hard to give the viewers a great experiences and currently the stream is running flawlessly. It looks like this is going to be a great event! You can watch and support them here: http://www.esamarathon.com/ https://www.twitch.tv/esamarathon

If you like funny speedruns, go for X-Men Mojo World from ESA. :D
