 Re: 20 hour gaming challenge for British Red Cross

Edit: I just uploaded the full 20 hour marathon to YouTube. The links are on the top of the page. I had to edit the second video as it was blocked by YouTube for music copyright infringement, as was playing music in the background for a while. I sped up those parts (x2) to try bypass the copyright bots, so far so good. I wanted to show the full 20 hours without chopping off an hour. Why would anyone want to personally profit from a small charity fundraising event anyway is beyond me.

In the end we raised £155 for the cause. The total so far is £106,017.83. Thanks to everybody who donated, and supported me during the marathon.

Thank you Doug. I just woke up having slept soundly all day. I was out like a light.

I didn’t play many C= games. Mainly it was classic coin-op arcade on my arcade cabinet, I have some C16 games on that too. After midnight I was on my VR Oculus Quest 2. It helps to keep me awake.

Considerable arcade cabinet C16 time went into:
Timeslip
Kikstart

On my real machine considerable time went into:
Big Mac
Mr. Puniverse
Skramble

In hindsight, I wish I had played a few of your games now Doug. Never thought it at the time as now only just realised it’s you. A missed opportunity of recognising a C16 legend on the stream who helped support this event. Drat. Apologies, I obviously had a lot of things on my mind at once yesterday.

I tried Pet Rescue on my arcade cabinet, but it was tricky with the control stick. I was going to attempt to play it on my C16 afterwards but was growing a little weary by then to reconnect the disk drive. I was in a bit of a tangle.
