I once left my Dreamcast on for a week so I could beat Jet Grind Radio (at the time, I didn't have a memory card :embarrassed: ).
One time I left Super Street Fighter II for Super Nintendo paused from the time I went to sleep that night to the time I came home from school the next day. I left it paused that long so I wouldn't have to restart, I guess. Other than that I've always been pretty good about not leaving games paused for a long time.

Columns (Sega Genesis), eight days so I could beat the game (level 150).

The longest I have ever left a game paused is........ TWELVE HOURS! And it was all for NBA Jam T.E. on the Sega Genesis. I don't remember the exact reason why I had it paused, I think I had to go somewhere and do something that wasn't as important as gaming.

The game i left on pause the longest would have to me Metal Gear Solid 3: Snake Eater, I left it on pause for a little over two days, which made my ranking at the end of the game terrible.

Back when Mega Man X2 first came out and I was renting it, I woke up really early...about 5:00 am to play it. I had gotten to the X Hunter's hideout the night before, but I couldn't get anywhere else cause I had to go to bed. Now I was playing the last few stages of the game early in the morning, but I still had to worry about school. I got all the way to Sigma, but I couldn't play anymore. So I just left the game paused all day till I got home from school...which was roughly 7 hours later.

My roommate once left the new Paper Mario on for an entire weekend while we went on a road trip to Boston. I felt so bad for the poor Gamecube... miraculously, it's lived, considering how hard he is on it.

The longest I ever kept it paused was for Super Mario Bros 3 for NES. I kept it paused for almost a full 24 hours.

I left the Saturn in a menu mode on WarCraft II for about 8 hours. I would have saved my progress but I didn't have enough internal memory, or a backup cartrige. The reason I was so hardcore about this was because I'd spent the last 3 days getting my butt soundly kicked again and again at that particular battle.

Well, I once purposely left on my N64 when I rented Rampage: Universal Tour without having a memory card. Beat it the next day, too.
I also once left my SNES on accidentally with Bonk's Adventure (or whatever it was, I borrowed it) for about 20 hours.
But this one takes the cake. When I got my Neo Geo AES for $20, it didn't have the AV Cables or any games. So, I plugged it in and plugged in some headphones to check for sound to guarantee workability.
I then left it powered on for a whole week straight after testing it. Still worked, though. Not exactly a pause, but this system was on and I forgot about it, so I'd say that's damned close enough.

One time, I left Toy Story for my Sega Genesis on pause for 4 and a half hours.
