About this event

Join us online at Retrorama.NET as we host our 7th annual live gaming marathon for Doctors Without Borders/ Médecins Sans Frontières (MSF)! Four days of Mario & Peach versus Zelda & Link, played horribly and with fits of rage! Which side are you on?! Let us know with your donation to this wonderful international medical relief charity!

Our annual live stream kicks off at 12pm CST on March 8, 2018 and goes until we either kill each other, pass out from exhaustion, or 6pm CST March 11-- whichever comes first.

Please like & share, and help spread the word! More people see this, more donations roll in; it's as simple as that! We look forward to seeing you in our chat room and doing idiotic things live all weekend for you donations!

And always remember that we love you dearly! <3

***** About the event: Every March since 2012, a group of 8-16 friends pile into a tiny apartment living room in Edwardsville, IL to stream 35 years of video games along a general theme, played frustratingly poorly. We give away prizes provided by sponsors and crafters, chat and have fun with viewers, compete for meaningless titles and trophies, sing and dance like lunatics, and generally sacrifice ourselves on the altar of dignity for the sake of entertainment. We gladly do whatever viewers would like in order to drive awareness, traffic, and donations to Doctors Without Borders/ Médecins Sans Frontières (MSF). All events are funded completely out-of-pocket: equipment, rentals, airfare, food and lodging, advertising, prize shipping, even time often coincides with vacation taken from our normal jobs. Neither Retrorama.NET nor any of its members accept any part of any donation made. All monetary donations go directly to Doctors Without Borders/ Médecins Sans Frontières (MSF), and all product donations are given away as incentives.

***** About the charity: In more than 60 countries around the world, Doctors Without Borders/ Médecins Sans Frontières (MSF) saves lives by providing medical aid where it's needed most, from armed conflicts to epidemics, natural disasters, and other crisis situations. Doctors Without Borders was founded on the belief that all people have the right to medical care regardless of gender, race, religion, creed, or political affiliation. Doctors Without Borders/ Médecins Sans Frontières (MSF) supports people who cannot access health care by employing specialized medical and logistical help or running longer-term projects designed to tackle health crises. At any time, some 30,000 doctors, nurses, midwives, epidemiologists, water-and-sanitation experts, and many others representing dozens of nationalities can be found providing assistance to some of the world's most vulnerable patients. They often work in remote locations, and are often the first international aid workers to arrive at the scene of an emergency. Doctors Without Borders/ Médecins Sans Frontières (MSF) also speaks out to bring attention to neglected crises, to challenge inadequacies or abuse of the aid system, and to advocate for improved medical treatments and protocols. Doctors Without Borders/ Médecins Sans Frontières (MSF) was awarded the Nobel Peace Prize in 1999.
