What is the longest amount of time you ever spent playing a video game in one sitting? And then name that game.
15 seconds-Dragonball GT:Final Bout...oh wait! you said LONGEST...
The longest? It would be a tie...
11 hours. Once playign SMB3 when I was a kid start to finish, completing every level and never using the whistles.
More recently (as in a few years ago) I played Megaman X4 on the saturn start to finish in one sitting, first with X then with Zero. Although I have no idea why it took me that long, last time I played the game I breezed through it in no time. Maybe when I played it before I didn't know which boss was weak to what weapon.
i'm not sure of the exact playtime, but my roommate in college made me play nhl 94 for the sega cd, until he beat me...i won 9 straight games...we started about 10:00 pm and i remember letting him beat me when the sun came up...heck i had class at 8:00!
i do remember the same roommate playing psIV for over 10 hours one day, and he was total cg...never own a console other than a NES...wierd...
i remember going through smb 3 with out warp whistles once...how rediculous that was! i swear it was like 8 hours...thanks for the non-save feature nintendo...
Tied:
Steet Fighter 2, Virtua Fighter 2, and Tekken 2. a good 20hrs of competition with friends.....
-Ren
i could never play a fighter for more than 2 hours...
A stab in the dark (recesses of my mind) might produce memories of Phantasy Star 1 and 2. ..Shining Force CD, Herzog Zwei, or Metroid.
I definately put in 8-12 hour sessions on those games.
More recently Skies of Arcadia commanded large chunks of my days, ..despite the fact I was mostly bored to hell
I just played Puyo Pop for like 15 minutes.
The stupid mermaid chick beat me with a 4Hit chain on hard... :(
i forgot my 16+ hour stint of daoc...but that's a mmorpg, so i have to divide that by 4 to get an eqivalancy factor...so that's really not very impressive...
I didn't want to count my DAOC playing time b/c that would be sick sick sick!
I don't remember exact hours anymore.
Back in college I played FFVII for sixteen hours straight (give or take a few hours)
I also played Princess Maker 2 over and over again for over 24 hours.
But that was in my youth. :)
Now the longest I play is about a half hour or so.
About 10-15 hours of shenmue 2.
Ah yes FF7 I spent many a hours on that game as well. But now I am like you 88MPH I can barely play 1/2 a day. God I hate real life and responsibilities!!
We have a topic just like this on the board... Ah well. My longest play session was a six-hour marathon session of WWF Royal Rumble for the DC.
well since you spend 23 hours a day on this board, im sure you would know...Quote:

15 hrs. FF7
72 hours. Played through FF7 in one sitting when it first came out.
I had to, the PSX was due back that monday, and I had rented it friday. :p
EDIT: Seems I win this contest. :o
Didn't we already have this topic last week?
Geez, and I though I was hardcore. I couldn't do 72 hours straight even if I wanted to.
10 hours with Virtua Fighter 4. It was like I was on speed and nothing would stop me! Followed by 7 hours of Final Fantasy X.
The most I have played any one game is something like three hours although, I have switched games while still playing for longer then that...don't know exact numbers here, but nothing like what some of you people have
The longest I played and actually realized it was a long time was 14 hours to plow through most of Lunar: SSSC. I was really annoyed the whole time. Lunar sucks, it turns out.
Other than that, piles and piles of untracked time in long, uninterrupted sessions of PSO, Diablo 2, Diablo 2: Lord of Destruction, et al.
Let's see -
about 18 hours ( Street Fighter 2 )
about 14 hours ( Mega Man 2 )
I've probably had multiple 10-hour sessions with Action Half-Life, Quake III, VOOT, and VF4.

What I don't get, is that you played a game, you thought sucked, for 14 hours straight? There's a name for that....

Anyways, I played Grandia, on the Playstation, for about 8 hours, from about 8 P.M. to 4 A.M. I really enjoyed the game. I did the same with Shenmue.
The only other time I can remember playing any amount of games for more than 16 hours, was when I was in High School and a I was at a freinds house. He had a C-64 and about 20 games. He, another freind and I played the C-64 from about 2 in the afternoon, to about 8 A.M. the next day. We must have played every one of the games he had for an hour or 2, before we had enough.
I don't know I could ever consider playing anything straight for 72 hours "winning" :DQuote:

It was SO highly recommended to me from all corners that I felt I should complete the game. I was sure there would be some fun in it somewhere, but then it was over, and I had had none. Very annoying.Quote:
