Not in one sitting mind you, over all clocked hours.

I have been playing FF Tactics Advanced, and noticed my clock has me at 74 hours, and I haven't even beat half of the missions. It got me thinking that some handheld games in recent year have had some serious logevity. So what is the most you have clocked on one game or the other.

My all time maximuim is Pokemon Red and Blue. Between the 2 I clocked 345 hours (that was the entirity of 11th grade thou, just so you know).

Hmmm...

I logged some heavy duty time into both pokemon blue and silver, but I think Links Awakening may have em beat. I played that thing almost nonstop when it came out for a month or two, trying to get everything. And then I started through it again, going for a "No deaths" finish.

When I checked on my game cart a while back, I found that I'd used the skip a screen trick to keep Marin following me through the game ;p

Longest I've played is probably the 60 hours I put into Cardfighter's Clash over one summer. Actually I think I was nearing 70. Damn I love that game.

Straight through without sleep, food or the company of a good woman? Maybe 4 or 5 hours with Donkey Kong for GameBoy. I guess I'm just not hardcore when it comes to handhelds.

Castlevania: Circle of the Moon... I had 55 hours of enjoyment out of that sucker. I beat it many times over. It's just a great game... and Castlevania to boot.

I dunno, I've spent hours in one sitting playing Monopoly on the GBC. I'm a Monopoly mongrel. I do not give up.

I just hit the 20 hour mark in CFC, I'd have more in FFT:A but my fiancee keeps stealing the GBA SP!

Well, not *straight* per say, but I've played through it three times without finishing it...

This game is the BANE of my existance...

Final Fantasy Legend 2 for the regular GB...

I've gotten to Apollo 3 freaking times and never even got close to beating him after he absorbs the Magi and transforms.

Anyone have any hints off the top of their heads? This one has been bugging me for YEARS...

Currently 73 Hrs logged on my Card Fighters Clash with about 20 cards remaining. I just aquired Geese and Yamazaki and wrecking all kinds of ass. 8-)

Tonight I logged about 3hrs straight of Neo Turf Masters while waiting for a friend to swing by--and scored my first Eagle!

I am sure that I have spent many hundreds of glorious hours with Advance Wars. How many hundreds? I could not say.

Splatterhouse on the TE... in college, I used to beat that game every time I used the toilet.

Let's see, a few hundred hours overall on a few games (obviously, the Pokemon games), but in one sitting, I've probably gone 5 or so hours. I really need a life again (I sold the first one to buy all them purdy Pocket Color games)...

Though I don't know how long exactly it would be tetris on the original GB

Hehe I loved that game
