For me, probably around 20-24 hours of straight Baldurs Gate. Fallout probably also had me playing for a similar amount of time, though not QUITE as long (Though, I would like to take this opportunity to note that I think Fallout and Fallout 2 are VASTLY superior, and in general are much better games.. I think I just happened to get lunch or something during Fallout =) )

I spent approximately ten hours straight playing Final Fantasy II. I had rented the game and the SNES from a local video store and I didn't have enough money to rent them a second day, so I tried to play as much as possible before giving it back. (Hey, I was a starving college student. ;) )

Longest in one sitting was about 32 hours on PSO.
Longest on one game period would be 525 hours on PSO.

9 hours straight the day Super Mario Bros. 3 on the NES came out...I beat in that one sitting.
A week or so later I beat the game in one life!!!
No warps, completing every single section of each world...
Now with warps I can beat the game in less than an hour...still one of my favorites...

One Sitting: Metal Gear Solid and Everquest are both tied at 17 hours.
Over time: Super Smash Bros. - 1 year Super Smash Bros. Melee - 10 months.

I'd have to say Chrono Trigger for SNES. I picked it up (damn, that game really hurt my little savings account!) and didn't get to play it for too long before I had to go to Tae Kwon Do practice. When I returned home, I went straight back to it (with my uniform still on). I sat there for a damn long time without getting up for a drink, to use the restroom, anything...
I'd say it was probably 10 hours.
As for the more casual sittings? God only knows I've spent 4-10 hours on many games, many, many different times. Sure, I might get up, make a sandwhich, grab a beverage of some sort, or use the restroom; but I'm always heading straight back into the fires! AAARRGH!!

I've spent around 400 hours playing VS matches in Super Smash Bros Melee with my friends....I have about 9300 kills so far...I'd have more but we play special melee a bit and those kills aren't included in the stats.....add in the time it took me to open everything and such and I've spent way too much time on this came since it came out last NOV. In a single sitting Baseball stars for the NES probably still holds my record at about 18-20 hours...

About 12 hours straight on baldur's gate.
I was playing it for the second time, when I suddenly found out Durlog's Tower had a basement.

One continuous game of Atari 2600 Defender the day after I got it= 10 hours. I remember this because I was still in my pajamas when the sun went down.

Just for a reall weird answer:
Me and a friend played Loaded on the PS1 for about 6-7 hours straight once without stoppping for anything besides cigarettes.
As for my record, probably FF2 or FF3. MAYBE FF7 or DW4
Definitely one of those games for more than 15-16 hours. The thing is, I would do it for days at a time, 16 hours a day for like 5 days straight. Like a binge or something. Called out sick and everything.

Don't know exactly how long, but my friends and I spent many summer weekends (pre-high school mind you) playing FULL seasons of Tecmo Super Bowl on NES. Four or more humans playing their games every week in a season quickly adds up...
By myself, no question it's Ultima Online. During college I often logged in around 7pm or 8pm at night, and would only stop the next morning when the servers went down (sometimes at 5am, sometimes at 11am). Many mornings were spent playing UO until 5am, then trying to find some way to stay awake until my 8am class...
I ended up playing that for 4 and a half years...sold my house, rare items, and account a couple months ago on eBay.
I was around 66% through CastleVania:SotN for PSX & for some reason still unknown, decided to erase the file. After doing so, I played for nearly 8 hours to get back to where I was. Couldn't feel my fingers the rest of the day...
Now I'm lucky to get in a couple hours to play anything...

I spent about 15 hrs. playing Doom on the snes. You cant save the game, and theres no level select, so I had to sit it out and play the darn game. :x

I spent 18hrs and a few gallons of Mt. Dew playing Anarchy Online one time. Not counting that I spent 12 hours straight playing Y's on the SMS back in the day.

Without a doubt, the game I played the longest straight was Final Fantasy 7 for PSX when it came out. I played the game back in college, skipping classes and only leaving the chair for bathroom breaks and the occasional run to the vending machine for three days straight! I even passed out in the chair, woke up in the chair, and then continued playing. Ahh, college days. :lol:
