We're a speedrun club focused on speedrunning underappreciated video games with empty speedboards every two months!

It's August 1st, which means that our new boost has started! We're running Randall the Grape Jelly Cube.

Members have already made new discoveries and posted a new WR for the Any% category!

Randall oozes N64 era 3D platforming charm. We encourage you all to check it out. See you all on the board!

Huge thanks to @letalis.bsky.social and davidtki for joining us last night to walk us through optimal approaches to (the) Gnorp Apologue’s speedrun mode.

Given this knowledge, @zerocounts.bsky.social went into the run cold and was still able to finish a run of 20:06 after only 3 attempts!

We were given the amazing opportunity to sit down and have a conversation with Myco, the developer of this month’s boost, (the) Gnorp Apologue!

We’ll be debuting the interview on Twitch this Wednesday during our “What We Know So Far” stream event at 8:00 PM CST.

Looking for something to do with your partner this Valentines Day? Our boost this month, Quartet for the Sega Master System, allows for 2-player simultaneous play!

Put up a time on the speedrun board this holiday ❤️ ❤️

It's February and that means a new Board Boosters speedrun!

We're learning Quartet for the Sega Master System. With a current world record of just over 6 minutes, this side-scrolling platform shooter is a recipe for a quick and fun speed game.

Yesterday we spun the wheel of speedrun submissions and it landed on...

THE IGNITION FACTOR!

A SNES game by Jaleco where you obliterate fires and save lives as a firefighting team! This is our collective speedrun target for December.

A quick summary of our most recent chosen run: Organ Trail! Everyone submitted their best times on November 1st & a handful of our members really helped push the meta for this game. Great stuff!

We discuss this run and pick our December target game on November 24th over at twitch.tv/boardboosters!
