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”.

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.
