Yet that’s the challenge taken up yesterday by speedrunners atAwesome Games Done Quick.

They managed to complete it in less than five minutes.

Barbuta itself was completed in 4 minutes 55 seconds by player “GrayGooGlitch”.

The hero in Barbuta is given advice and told to look for things out of the ordinary.

It’s only 11 seconds short ofthe fastest existing run.

But the UFO 50 marathon was also a team effort.

The next game was Rakshasa, a tough-as-old-boots action game with lots of upsetting frogs.

The runner polished it off in 8 minutes and 22 seconds.

They got through that in 6 minutes 20 seconds.

It was the toughest game to get through, with a time of 28 minutes 27 seconds.

Awesome Games Done Quick began at the weekend and runs until this Sunday.

That’s happening on Thursday.

I look forward to it.
