Whats the longest you've spent playing one game?

[dreamcaster]

When I got my SNES with Super Mario All-Stars back in 1995, I played that for about six hours straight, and then everyday for about three months after that.

Man I love that game!

[Dahne]

Baldur's Gate II. Played it every day for ages. Then I downloaded just about every mod out there and played it some more.

Oh, and Everquest. I was a Qrackhead for a good long time.

I think the longest I ever played was Legend of Zelda:LTTP on SNES. I spent a straight 8 hours on it with no breaks. I remember having a headache after that.

I think I can still beat the game with all the secrets in 8 hours. Its been a year since i last played it.

I remember playing Phantasy Star for the Sega Master System for 8+ hours straight when I first brought it hom ethe day it came out. Now, I play a game probably a maximum of 30 minutes. I play quick classics nowadays. Missile Command, Centipede...and so on. Maybe games most people can actually play for mroe than 30 minutes, but I usually catch a good quickie game and I'm out the door. I don't have the extensive time to play long titles like I used to be able to...

around 80 hours for ff7

I played Starcraft for about 2 and a half years, and I also played Animal Crossing the first entire year I had it.

[Darth Sensei]

I played Arcade Asteroids for 48 hours straight once as a promotion back in the early 80's.

As far as actual time total, I'd have to say the PC version of Civilization. If you take the original and all the sequels, I have dedicated months, if not years of my life to that game and don't regret it at all.

I've been trying to get past level 97 in Tempest X for something like 5 years now.

Cummulative time would definitely be Starcraft. I got it the first week it was out, and only recently stopped playing it about 8 months ago. I was so good at that game it wasnt even funny. In one session, it was probably only 3-4 hours of GTA vice city.
My eyes get screwed up if i go for longer than that

[SoulBlazer]

Longest time straight? Geesh.....I honestly don't know. With all the time and years spent playing games, God only knows. I know I've done 12 hour all night sessions....and maybe gone on to 16-18 hours.

I know I've played some arcade games since 1980 on and off, but the oldest game I personaly have that I still play? Probaly a few GB games I have from 1993.

[dave2236]

I have 64 hours in right now on Dark Cloud 2....almost done

[Aswald]

Lord of the Dungeon for the ColecoVision.

I started playing it early one evening, and before I knew it, it was early the next morning!

Back in the day, a friend and I played Jurassic Park for SNES from a Friday after school untill Sunday evening (with minimal pauses for food and sleep). The reason was twofold: 1) Jurrasic Park is a really long game with no save or password feature; and 2) the game froze on us near the end three times (all three were in almost the exact same spot). Both Friday and Saturday nights, the SNES was left on while we slept as that was the only way to be able to pick up where we left off.

That game was so fun but I can't believe they expected anyone to play it to the end in one sitting. By the third time through, we were just cruising and it still took many hours to get back to where we were. If this game had a save or password feature, it would EASILY be in my top 10 SNES games.

[Ed Oscuro]

Hmm, longest played for a console game would probably still be Goldeneye. I usually only have a few console games for each system that I like (since they're so expensive) and I play them a lot. Lots of time playing Phantasy Star Online by myself, for example (can you trade items with other characters in offline multiplayer? I want to buff up my low-end characters o-O)

For a single sitting...jeez, I've probably spent 8 hours or so multiple times playing Counter-Strike or other FPSes. Whenever I play a game I usually go for a few hours.

The Legend of Zelda: origianal NES gold cartridge.
I remember getting this game the first month it came out back when I was a we lass.
I think I played this game for 18 hours straight and over and over for the next 2 years, still my fav game ever!
Streetfighter 2 on SNES probably got the most playtime with me and my friends back in the day, I was the first one to get it, man that was a fun summer, before I decided that girls were more fun, .
later gamers!!!

Ultima 2, Ultima 5 for number of hours...Star Control 2 for number of consecutive hours...why did there have to be a time limit in that game? I was having probably the best time I've ever had in a video game exploring all the planets when it tells me that the Kohr-Ah are eliminating all the races. If that game didn't have a time limit it would have been perfect.

I prefer RPGs and adventure games, but for me it was definitively Gran Turismo 3.

I don't know how many hours I played this gem of a game, but one and a half years after purchase I still played the game just for fun. I played around 2000 races, got every gold medal of the license tests, unlocked every car in the game, broke every set record of "time trial' by 3 to 5 secs, and of course finished simulation mode.

[chopstickassasin]
