Hi!

As part of Skyscanner's Charity "Oneday" event this year, a group of staff at the Glasgow office are aiming to raise at least £400 for SpecialEffect which will help them put on a gaming roadshow in a hospital or special school, or customise a gaming setup for someone who can't use a console out of the box due to special needs or disability.

Our plan is to play and stream board and videogames for 24 hours from our office. Our Twitch channel is here:

As part of the range of titles being played over the course of the day, I will be undertaking a special "Metal Slug" Arcade game Marathon, were I'll play (and stream live!) all 6 of the Classic NeoGeo Arcade titles back to back, making an extra personal donation to the charity fund for every credit it takes me to complete them! (And they're hard, I fear this is going to cost me....)

You can read more about SpecialEffect and the great work they do on their website: http://www.specialeffect.org.uk/

We'll be kicking off at 9am on the 30th of September!

This video should let you know a bit more about what Special Effect do and why it's important: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EEZT2EOFDv0
