Contemplating how hard it is to do a speedrunning/showcase event.

Was thinking of pretentiously calling it "You Can't Shut This Down" and the rules are "no Nintendo." No games played on any Nintendo hardware, nor Nintendo properties like Mario Bros./Donkey Kong. (Like I think there was a Mario DOS game as well as the old arcade Mario Bros... yeah don't want that)

Basically a time to showcase games that were on other hardware but known for being played on SNES/NES as well as showcasing other hardware itself.
Maybe not super focused on Speedrunning but a "You have 30 min to show off your cool game". Get people in that can't speedrun, but have a cool little known game on an obscure system. Allow for people to have a save state at a place in the game that is the "most coolest!"
I also want to keep it retro? Else it'd just be a lot of modern PC games.
(Kinda want to say to keep the games "tameish". Showcase games that are more about the gameplay and less about the gore or jiggle physics on the female characters. That's just a me thing though. Maybe have a block for the more risque games.)

Attach it to a cool charity for donations.

Basically the spirit of the thing is kind of "We don't need Nintendo" as well as "Fuck Nintendo" thus the "You can't shut this down" Cuz that's what Nintendy has been doing with it's sweet sweet Switch 2, Mario Kart World, New DK game money. Shut down gaming events etc.
