Longest Game Sessions - Break The Record

Hmm...well, since I was spending to much time on games I thought I'd start some kind of "break the record" tread...
Well, the point is check out who has spent the most time playing through a game (without any breaks of course) ..... the question is only if u can consider "going to the loo" or "eating/drinking break" as fair! I nearly got killed (flooded ;) ) stoppin' my bludder and suffering from malnutrition....but once in a while I got something to eat during my game session....! So that would count!

Please name the game u were playing and the hours u spend (non-stop) playing it

Zelda oot = 10hours / Secret of mana2 = 8hours / Golden Sun = 6hours

(of course I didn't beat the games in that time...;) ..i just fell asleep after it)

I can't remember I was playing! But the game was certainly GTA. :)

Played Monkey Island 4 (PC) from 18:00 PM to about 12:00 AM next day :blush:

So that's.... 18 hours in a row. With just bottles of Coca-Cola and a big bag of Chocotoff

Finished the game too :colgate:

Well, I and 3 friends had a school project bout playing video games, so we played for about 41 hours.....(with about 3 hours of breaks spread in that, like 5 mins now and then to get the pizza in the oven or prepare some other food :cool: ). Although we didn't play a certain game all the time it was very fun :D

A friend and I played TOCA World Touring Cars for about 4+ hours when we were very drunk. I fell asleep in the middle of a race (this was like about 4am!) and crashed out of a certain victory I tell you.. ;)

The longest gaming session I ever had was when I was playing Unreal Tournamet on a LAN party (I'm pretty good at it) and I was fragged after 10 hours of straight playing without any breaks or so we started at 18:00 PM and I ended it at 4:00 PM the following day.

P.S
I was #10 of the tournament :D

Well, if I remember correctly, I once played Phantazmagoria (the first one) for seven straight hours... Man, that game was sweet at the time...

GODLIKE
ooo.. i remember Phantasmagoria.. /me has the 7 cds right here.. somewhere hehe.. but back then i liked "Under a killing moon" more :p..

btw.. i've been up for bout 80 hours straight b4.. no joke.. i'm not sure if i have insomnia but with enugh cofeine or coke i can stay up for days.. i'm not sure bout the longest.. but there's been 4 games..

1 chrono trigger.. i was stuck in front of the tv screen for about 3 days.. no sleep.. yes i did eat and i did go to bathroom.. dunno if that counts but i ate while playing and i only took short bathroom brakes.. was in summer so had no school..

2 final fantasy 9.. i had 4 days vacation from work.. played it on my tv on epsxe.. i played also for like 3 days.. last day of vacation i slept great coz i finished the game with the "sweet" ending.. i was all sleeping like "awww".. but had to call in sick the next day heh..

3 Castlevania SOTN.. come to think of it.. this game must be the one i've played the longest in a row.. really has to be.. least i think it must been.. not 100% sure.. but i started and finished it with very high %.. got the good ending.. and the second time i played the game from beginning to end it took me 2 weeks of playing every afternoon to finish the damn thing..

4 Super Metroid.. this game had me hooked for bout 2 or so days not sure maybe more.. when i finished it.. heh.. guess what.. i started it all from the beginning again :p.. finished it twice in a row..

other games i've played for a long ass time..
super mario world.. (must be the biggest Mario game or am i wrong?)
all zelda games..
all FFs..
metalgear 1&2&solid..

and i'm guessing the next 3 day eye opener will be MetalGearSolid2 :p..

Well a few years back when I still lived in germany I had played Secret of Mana with 2 of my friends for I think 3 days in a row. We had some sleep in turns so i'm not sure if it counts. but i guess most of the time we were all awake. Ahh multi tap rulez ;)

@#§°#...my EYES....well, I thought I was good at non-stop playing.../ After reading ur posts I kinda got motivated to check my limits: So I played a few games in a row: I nearly beat Golden Sun (2.Lighttower Venus) but then I just switched to another game (Diablo2) and started a new character and played until I killed Mephisto and just changed to a N64 game and then played Castlevania - legacy of darkness ......All together 29HOURS!!!!!!

I'm finished....... I think I'm going to get some rest..... I'm never going to do this again

:plain: ...... it's just a pain in the butt....or more in the eyes....!!!!!

/me takes ice to cool down my eyes
