Whats the longest you've spent playing one game?

final fantasy 8 with 57 hours.

**Bratwurst** · 02-14-2003, 11:59 AM

57 what?

I played and beat the Secret of Mana over the course of a year. And I got rid of it afterwards, too! Redundancy in building up levels, magic levels, weapon levels, boss battles made ridiculously easy by merely casting the same spell repeatedly, sluggish attacking system.

Well, in recent times, I have so far spent over 116 hours on FFX, I am trying to max out the sphere grid, ect....and in classic gaming, probably Super Mario Bros. 3..oh my god, me and my brother played that game for like 5 hours every day for at least 2 months!!!

If continuous playing has to count, then I once played Ultima 5 on C64 and wasted the whole weekend away in one sitting. (probably around 36 hours)

If it doesn't have to be continuous, then both Adventure and Yars Revenge for 2600 are close to the 25 years mark for me.

Sir, I have played The Game of Life for more than 100 years.

**Nature Boy** · 02-14-2003, 01:18 PM

I'd probably give the nod to a PC game actually - Civilization. Considering each game takes what, six hours to complete? I've played it more than once start to finish without a break. And I've played it countless times which definitely puts me into the 3 digit zone...

Well, I suppose this counts. We just upgraded our UO accounts to the Age of Shadows release. I've been playing it for about 15 months now. I think QOF has me way beat on length of playing for UO, though.

As far as actual sit down play it until you are done games, I've never sat down for any length of time really worth mentioning. I have to break it up into sessions which can drag out for a long time, where as it may only take the rest of you a day or few to complete the game.

I still play Diablo 2... Bought it a couple weeks after it came out... don't know how long that is... I don't play it every day obviously... but I do play for a couple weeks then skip a couple weeks then go back to it.

**gamergary** · 02-14-2003, 03:53 PM

Adventure for 2600 all my life (maybe like 30 days a year for the last 13 years or so) In one sitting i've playing Runescape (a free game on the internet) for 16 hours.

**Retsudo** · 02-14-2003, 04:26 PM

6 hours playing Doom for the snes. Didnt have a save feature or level select so i had to go through the game.
Also playing Socom Navy seals for 3 hours...long ass missions in that game...well if you want to do it right I mean.

**Raedon** · 02-14-2003, 04:33 PM

This subject always comes up every 6 months or so and I always win!

Everquest

Calculated 1 year 34 days 12 hours I think it was last time I counted up all the /time played character info's. (I still play on weekends.)

For a long time I used to work 8-5, come home, log on, play to 3:00am, sleep 4 hours.. rense repeat. on weekends I would routinely skip sleeping until 4am sunday playing all friday night and saturday morning. I'd probably have played completely threw the weekend more then once if anyone actually was on Sunday morning.

Yes, once I actually got home from work on a Friday and during an Plane of Air raid I was on until monday morning.

**GENESISNES** · 02-14-2003, 04:46 PM

i got about 100 hrs racked up on my Legend of Dragoon File, and my friend is an rpg freak, and has beaten ocarania of time 10 times in a few months.

**Arqueologia_Digital** · 03-13-2003, 11:20 PM

I spent about 30 or 35 hours with Pok�mon Blue, and a lot of hours with RPG games, but i don�t remember.

**Anonymous** · 03-13-2003, 11:47 PM

This one is easy. I play Bionic Commando every day when i'm at work. I used to work a 40 hour week, and I've been working for about 3 years now, so, say an average of about 20 hours a week (the other half spent playing other games), at 150 weeks, that's about 3000 hours or 125 days.

I have put many hours in alot of games and collect mostly classic games but for some reason i have to say diablo 2 I could not even tell you how many days spent playing this game the most addictive game i have ever played.

**maxlords** · 03-14-2003, 07:01 AM

Well, in recent history, I just clocked 68 hours into Suikoden 3 before beating it soundly with a large stick.

Historically, the longest I've spent on some games were:

Shining in the Darkness - 3 Months, playing all the time almost every day. I actually memorized every single dungeon and every turn in every dungeon in that game...I could walk from the end dungeon to the town on nothing but memory...no maps. That was the first game I ever beat.

Landstalker - about 4 months. The puzzles were HARD in that game and some of them took some serious time to figure out. Not to mention the game is fairly challenging as well. And no cheap ass faqs or strategy guides back in the day so it took a LONG time! Too bad the ending was such shite.

Phantasy Star 2 - about 3 months. I played all the way to Darkforce and then got my ass kicked back then. Turns out I hadn't leveled up enough. Go figure. Long ass game with insane dungeons. Played it all the time too!

These were back in the day when you only had 3 or 4 games total if you were lucky so it was easy to heavily focus on just one game. I also give an honorable mention to FFIII for SNES, which has been played all the way thru by me at least 5 times. Only RPG I've ever beat more than once in fact. I'd say many countless happy hours were logged on that game...but not as many as the above three!

**EnemyZero** · 03-14-2003, 08:31 AM

Hmm easy Final Fantasy 7 , i was a freshman in highschool and i faked sick an entire week, never left my bed or my psx controller

i think i had over 60 hours on it. I will tell my mom one day since she waited on me hand and foot and thought i was on my death bed and boy i woulda if i didnt beat the game lol

**digdug** · 03-14-2003, 09:02 AM

I have to agree with Raedon on this one, I have been playing Everquest now for 6 months, 5 days and 14 hours, not as long as him but definitely a long time..

As far as console, I would have to say FF7 had close to 80 hours into that game.

However, once Star Wars Galaxies comes out I will defiinitely be on every available minute.
