In this thread we will organize and discuss prizes for games or blocks.

I've created a Google spreadsheet to show where the different prizes will lay currently. This is not official, but to give a visual idéa of the current prizes. Find this here: https://docs.google.com/spreadsheet/pub?key=0Ara8X7LcYS6TdGx2azlqMGxYdFpMdVR0UXliNmMyaXc&output=html

What is blue is settled and what is black is not (afaik). Let me know if anything seems wrong. Let us know which block or game you want the prize to be in.

Prizes are a huge part of a marathon like this. It increases the interest and the excitement and also it gives more room for donations. Therefore, this should be organized a bit more so we actually have a variation of different prizes over the marathon.

Discussion topic (READ THIS!!):
Having prizes is a great idea, but it costs us money! All the money we get from donations during the marathon will go to charity, and therefore we can not use them to pay the prizes off. Therefore, this has to come directly from us.

Besides that, people who will do runs during this marathon are highly encouraged to get prizes for their games. This is not in any way a requirement though, just to make clear. But it is highly appreciated and something to have in mind.

We need to discuss whether we should buy grand prizes, how we are going to pay for them (as a group or individual) and if there is any way to get sponsored to get prizes. Thank you for reading.

This is what I can offer during the Zelda 2 runs: A copy of Zelda: Shadow of Night, the best rom-hack now on cartridge.

Edit: Why can't you hide pictures.

I'm going to take a look on what prizes I'm going to offer for my games. I'll update with picutres and info during the evening.

Edit: Prize for the SEGA-classics block.

Liar! I want to see them :3
I made this thing for myself about a year ago:
https://twitter.com/TimpZ91/status/303906392610316288/photo/1

I could do something similar, but to buy the necessary paper and tube for transport is going to cost 100-150kr, something I can't afford at this point. If people chip in to pay for the material I could take the ~10 hours out of my spare time to make another one, or some other character.
Hockey enthusiast
Didn't know you lived at Michael Hansens Kollegium!

As I see it, the tube would be needed when sending the prize to the winner? So we would reimburse you for that expense.

Well I do :p.

Yes, but also it's not really in my budget to buy the material to make it right now, considering the travel costs etc to ESA. The paper alone to make the one in the picture I think was about 110kr and used something like 10-15 sheets of thick coloured paper that I cut out. Perhaps there's a better source for material, but if people want it as a prize I'd need to be compensated for material unless it's a trivial cost.

I have some steam copies of the Indie game Anodyne, which is pretty much a 2d zelda but you fight with a broom. If you are interested, I will gladly offer them as prizes.
Perhaps during a PC block with many Indie games? Trailer of Anodyne:


Edit: I got 3 copies of the game!

Perfect for the indie games block like you said!

DuckTales + Kirby

So I just got this thread from Edenal and therefore I am going to organize this a bit on my own. Because prizes are a big part of this marathon and something to actually get onto now I believe. Therefore, the main post will be changed soon. Basically I will structure this with motivation to get prizes and let you know what is clear as a prize and structure the suggestions.

Stay tuned and have indulgence!
That Ninja Gaiden Perler is AWESOME!!!

Dxtr I would like to know which game you want your Mario perlers to be in and where your (awesome) ice climber perlers should be (maybe at the NES block?)

I have a few ideas for prizes myself.

Mario Block (together) - Settled as a prize



Mario (?) - Settled as a prize

I am not sure WHERE to put this as a prize...

Help me out with these:

During Zelda-games

I could get like 5 of those to win during some, or all, of the Zelda games. There are also two iPhone shells I could get, if that sounds like a good idea.



Maybe a Grand Prize?
This is nothing I can buy myself, especially not if I am just going to give it away. But I will link something on a Swedish auction site that I think would be cool as a bigger prize:
http://www.tradera.com/darunia-goron-leader-15-statue-the-legend-of-zelda-auktion_290923_181702957

My idea with this is that it is a bigger prize, and Darunia is actually a major part of The Legend of Zelda: Majora's Mask that is the final game of the marathon. There are other statues as well, like Zant, Ganondorf, Dark Link and Adult Link upon Epona, but these makes less sense due to the games in this marathon. I would not buy this by my own, this is something that would be optional if more people get into it.

Edit: A Star Fox prize is now bought as well
Caution: This user contains Kana ^_^
A grand prize would be great, and I would be happy to donate an amount x to make one possible. It would have to be something grand, though. Something really worth donating lots for. (lots > 20 €)
I see no donation incentive thread so I'll post here.

Since me and Sork have established that neither of us is interested or capable in doing a very serious high quality run of Dark Souls we decided to at least try to make it interesting. We already chose that for our own good we'd be swapping the controller during the run but now in addition we're planning letting the donations determine when we swap. Basically, every X amount of money we switch, no matter where we are or something like that. And to make things more interesting we're likely to be online which allows viewers to attempt to invade us (shouldn't slow us down much, we can just run away) and we'll try to come up with some interesting route that isn't too well known (nor complete bull**** like "shield only").
I will be adding a Super Meat Boy Ultra Edition (PC) game to the prize list.

It is this : http://supermeatboy.com/85/

Do you want it to be up as a bidding prize just during Super Meat Boy or during a block or...?
Well Meat Boy in only a 30mins game so I really don't mind We can have it for just Meat boy or during an indie block!
Here are some prizes for Metroid Prime, Resident Evil 4 and Maximo. There are all second hand, but in excellent condition (I bought them in Japan, Madarake and Trader shops to be precise)
