What's the longest continous period of time you've spent gaming continuously?

[imported_Tomato]

My fiance just discovered Counter Strike via Half Life 2, and played for almost 9 hours straight on Saturday (from 10pm to 7am). Whew! I think the longest I've ever spent was 2 hours playing Marble Madness way back when.

What's the longest continous period of time you've spent gaming, and what game?

 

[moshquerade]

she played 9 hrs straight - no pee breaks or nuttin?

 

[conjur]

Probably close to 24 hrs in some long Madden games w/my nephew.

On the PC? Maybe 20 min.

I remember when the first Halo came out. I played the entire day into the night until I beat the game. Took about 15 hours I guess. It was a while ago so I don't remember for sure, I just know I played all the way through non-stop.

Probably have done more years before, i.e. FFVII, FFX, Suikoden, Resident Evil games, etc.

I spent 18 hours+ a couple of times playing the old Gold Box D&D computer games.

 

[Encryptic]

- About 5-6 hours on Dune II (the original RTS game) way back when

- 8 or so hours playing Quake online late into the night during high school

didn't you buy him WoW? ive been expecting a thread like this from you, but was surprised to see it was counterstrike

the most time i have spent gaming is probably an entire saturday, with some breaks. with school and hw (and nagging mom back in the day), and now a job and hw, i just dont have a lot of long free periods of time.

 

[FrustratedUser]

I did 12 hours of RtCW.

 

[cheapgoose]

10 - 15, w/ pee break

KOTOR

 

[nakedfrog]

Hm... probably 15-20. Probably Civilization or Final Fantasy 2/3 (US).

 

[vshah]

back in 1999 i started Freespace 2 and couldn't stop till i was finished...took about 25 hours

havn't played a pc game in months though

 

[mchammer187]

prolly less than 5 hours if you mean no getting up

i have played WoW for about 12 hours but did use the bathroom but ordered food and ate it in front of the comp

 

[Elbryn]

there was a time when rubicite in eq was going away and i camped the avatar of fear for 17 hours to get the bp.
Then there was the time i spent about 30 hours straight grinding in mistmoore.. that was a long time ago though.. nowadays the longest is 6 hours or so on wow with occasional breaks.

 

[40Hands]

UO used to own me back in the day. Now its WoW and CS:S...

5 to 10 hours is about all I can stand in one sitting though...

 

[dquan97]

24hrs in college playing FF7

had the worst GPA that year

When I was about 16, I was visiting a friend in Seattle. We rented the Rambo game for his original NES. Started playing about 6pm and didn't realize how long we had been playing until we saw that the sun was starting to come up. So about 12 hours. I had to make the 5 hour drive home that next day.

I've had plenty of 6 and 7 hour sessions of Quake 2, Rogue Spear, Medal of Honor, and Battlefield 1942. I'd usually start playing around 8 or 9 pm, and next thing I knew, it was 3am.

Back in 2003, I believe. After last day of school, me and a bunch of guys, I think 10-12, went to a LAN gaming place and played CS mostly for 9 hours straight. Funny thing is that i could not move my fingers after that.

Pretty hard to use keys if you cannot move fingers.

 

[Colt45]

I used to play dragon warrior for long stretches of time. not sure how long tho.

 

18 hours playing goldeneye on the n64 (four people)
no food breaks, just mt dew and piss breaks taken at need

also been to many 14 hour lan parties

 

[bandana163]

13 hours (not counting some obligatory breaks) of Fallout (maybe Tactics, maybe not).

 

[EngenZerO]

final fantasy 7 -> 22 hours

 

[DnetMHZ]

I spent way too many hours playing GTA III .

 

[kage69]

About 14hrs of continuous play when I discovered the Renegades mod for Tribes.

 

[Ramma2]

Easy to do at lan parties!

Depends... I mean I eat a lot so I have to get food and stuff, but I played HL2 for probably close to 7 or 8 hours in one chunk, and the other two were probably 3 or so hours each. However, back in the good old days of 1.6, we would start at about 4 or 5 in the afternoon on Saturday, and go until 2 or 3 in the morning on Sunday.

I'm also going to have to say that if I could remember, FF8 would have sucked up a lot of my time. And I still never beat the game. Two fvcking corrupted memory cards in a row on disc four... what are the odds? I may go for it again this week though, we'll see. Some day, I will beat it.
