My last marathon run for April is today! Check out Retrothon at 3:00 PM CDT as I run Chikyuu Kaihou Gun ZAS for Game Boy. It’s an incredible JP exclusive vertical shooter that pushed the console to its limits, and was our @boardboosters.bsky.social speedrun in February! twitch.tv/RetroGamingLiveTV

Board Boosters @boardboosters.bsky.social · 31/03/2026

This week, we selected our speedrun target for April 2026: Castlevania: Prelude of Chaos! It's a fan-made Castlevania game inspired by Simon's Quest, and was originally produced on a TI-83 calculator. It has been ported to PC and is free to download here: martinbousquet.itch.io/castlevania-...

At the start of February, Board Boosters started working on the #speedrun for Chikyuu Kaihou Gun ZAS, a shmup for the Game Boy! Our members have worked on run optimization and as a result, we've already knocked the easy mode world record down by about 35 seconds, bringing it to 14m 18s! Incredible!

We spun the wheel yesterday, and our #speedrun target game for February is... Chikyuu Kaihou Gun ZAS! Suggested by @uccidarogue.bsky.social, this is a neat little #shmup for the Game Boy which uses interesting techniques to provide a smooth and intense shooter experience on this classic handheld.

A break from the recent BB history recap to mention that on Saturday, we're broadcasting our post-mortem discussion of the December target game! We didn't officially run a game for Dec, but members of our community took it upon themselves to #speedrun Jazz Jackrabbit: Holiday Hare!

Board Boosters @boardboosters.bsky.social · 15/01/2026

In June 2024, Board Boosters targeted The Great Giana Sisters for the Amiga! It's a side-scrolling platformer where you jump on enemies to kill them and gain powerups from hitting boxes! If that sounds familiar to you, its because this may or may not be very heavily "inspired" by Super Mario Bros.!

Board Boosters @boardboosters.bsky.social · 13/01/2026

Our April 2024 boost was Zeliard for #DOS! In this side-scrolling action #RPG, you level up and gain abilities on your quest to save the kingdom of Zeliard from evil. You must explore carefully in order to find and defeat the 8 bosses guarding jewels, which then allow you battle the demon Jashiin.

Board Boosters @boardboosters.bsky.social · 10/01/2026

Our first boost of 2024 was the #FPS title Corridor 7: Alien Invasion! This game had NO recorded #speedrun or leaderboard before our involvement! Created using the Wolfenstein 3D engine, C7 tasks you with killing a certain percentage of aliens in each level before exiting at the starting elevator.

Board Boosters @boardboosters.bsky.social · 09/01/2026

Board Boosters heated up December 2023 by #speedrunning The Ignition Factor for SNES! In TIF, you control a team of firefighters as they save people trapped in burning buildings and smoky mines using many different tools and items. Careful control and proper item selection are key to this run!

131

Board Boosters @boardboosters.bsky.social · 07/01/2026

Our 3rd boost took place in October 2023, which means we picked a SPOOKY GAME! Organ Trail: Director's Cut was our October #speedrun, in which you drive through various US cities to reach the west coast while budgeting groceries, upgrading your vehicle, and (of course) killing zombies.

Board Boosters @boardboosters.bsky.social · 05/01/2026

In August 2023, our 2nd #speedrun target was the #NES title: Defenders of Dynatron City! Developed by LucasFilm Games, DoDC has you select a team of 4 superheroes and use their various attributes and abilities to rid Dynatron City of the evil scientist Dr. Mayhem and his robotic army.

122

Board Boosters @boardboosters.bsky.social · 02/01/2026

In June 2023, Board Boosters kicked off with their first target game: Dreamworld Pogie! Created for the #NES by the Oliver twins, Pogie is a spinoff of the well-known Dizzy adventure titles. It's a fast paced platformer with 15 stages - a quick jaunt that was a great starter project for our club!

Board Boosters @boardboosters.bsky.social · 14/12/2025

Board Boosters is a group that collectively #speedruns a game every other month. Our target games are ones with few runners (<20) on their speedboard, and are generally perceived as underrecognized. We've been a bit silent lately, but we plan to be back in full capacity in early 2026! Stay tuned!

Board Boosters @boardboosters.bsky.social · 01/08/2025

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!

Very pleased with the start to learning Quartet [SMS]. Wasn't expecting to go into run attempts tonight, but this has to be one of the quickest games we have learned for @boardboosters.bsky.social. Highly recommend checking out the community if you're interested in trying a different retro game.
