It’s nearly time once again for Awesome Games Done Quick (AGDQ), the zany speedrun-fest for an excellent cause. The hook for this year’s occasion is a run of the Dreamcast traditional Crazy Taxi with a live support band. Funds raised from this year’s display will benefit the not-for-profit Prevent Cancer Foundation. AGDQ 2025 runs from January 5 to 12 in Pittsburgh.

You can have a look at a sneak peek in the video listed below, which revealed the exact same band rocking out to a tape-recorded run of the video game at Summer Games Done Quick (SGDC) 2024.
