Editing Speed Demos Archive (section)

== History ==
SDA originally began as a demo archive of ''[[Quake (video game)|Quake]]'' [[Video games notable for speedrunning#Quake|playthroughs]].  SDA was formed initially by Nolan "Radix" Pflug of [[Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania]] by merging with a site created by Gunnar and Jesse in April 1998. In 2004, after the success of his own 100% ''[[Metroid Prime]]'' run, Radix expanded SDA to include demos of other games. [[Mike Uyama]] took over in 2006 as the site's administrator. In January 2010, SDA ran its first charity marathon, Classic Games Done Quick, raising over $10,000 for [[CARE (relief agency)|CARE]].<ref name=cgdq2010>{{Cite web|url=https://gamesdonequick.com/tracker/index/cgdq|title=Classic Games Done Quick -- Index|website=gamesdonequick.com|access-date=2019-01-24|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20160216003015/https://gamesdonequick.com/tracker/index/cgdq|archive-date=16 February 2016|url-status=live}}</ref>
