What's the Longest Time You've Spent on a Game?

[The Metamorphosing Leon]

I'm just curious. What single game have you played the most? Let's not count MMO's although split-screen MP is fine.

For me it'd have to be Castlevania: Symphony of the Night. Me and a friend ripped that game apart, we found every item and exploited every exploit. And then some kid broke my copy and I can't find it at any game stores and I'm too lazy to shop for it online.

Tekken 3, GTA: San Andreas and the original Zelda would be close after that. I've also spent ridiculous amounts of time playing Super Mario Brothers 3,  MoH: Underground and Rising Sun, FFVII and Star Wars Episode 1: Jedi Power Battles (I actually took the time to beat it, like four times, and twice on multiplayer).

Alright, your turn.

This is a very vauge question.

I racked up a minimum of 24 straight hours of pokemone Red and Blue(this was done more than once).
I have done 12-20 hour bouts of gaming for a ton of games both handheld and console.

The longest i have ever put into one game also would probably the Pokemon Red and Blue versions. Betwen just those 2 it would be a bare minimum of 1,000 hours.
Take into consideration. Yellow, Gold Silver, Crystal, Emerald and my time jumps considerably.

FF3 and Lufia 2 also have at least 100-200 hours of my time invested into them.
But none of the games i played nearly as much as the first 2 PKMN ones.

In it's heyday, I logged well over 500 hours on Gemstone.  I loved being able to play someone over the internet.  Such a novel idea!  Gotta love text based games from back in the day.

Tough one, I'd have to say either Goldeneye or the original Soul Calibur.

When GTA: Vice City came out I spent 8 hours a day for two weeks on it. If I didn't have to go to school it would have been longer. I beat the main missions in about 5 days then the action slowly dithered, so I went down to an hour or two a day for another month.

Then when San Andreas came out I couldn't play it much for the first week because I had to revise for a maths exam. That didn't stop me playing it four hours a day. Then I played it for that amount of time for two or three months.

I think I spent well over 100 hours on San Andreas. Normally, I get bored with a game after ten hours, sometimes stretching to twenty if it's a good game.

500+ on Simcity 2000, I played that game on and off for years.
500+ on Transport Tycoon Deluxe and its modds, I still put in about 50 hours a year on this one and I have had it since 1996. TTD rocks

Sometime last year, I played Legend of Zelda: Link to the Past (SNES) for 7 hours straight... Probably less than that if you excluded lunch, bathroom breaks, and having to use a walkthrough a couple times since I didn't remember something.

Is the question for time spent on 1 game or time spent on a game in 1 sitting?

[The Metamorphosing Leon]

The longest time you've spent on a single game for your entire life. Not in one sitting.

Although that's pretty sweet Dragonmaster, or it's not healthy, or both.

[DragonMaster_Sam]

It's both sweet and healthy, never felt messed up by it.

[shaggy]

That was my question, in one sitting or cumitively.

probably NHL 96 for the Genesis. I played 2 or 3 games just about everyday for almost a year. second would be HArry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets for PS2. after i beat the campaign I played it for another few weeks till I complted every side quest and collected every Wizard card.

honorable mention would got to my Mattell Football II. it's been in my bathroom for a few years and gets played just about every day. heck, that's probably the one I've logged the most hours on.

[DragonMaster_Sam]

That was my question, in one sitting or cumitively.

In one sitting, believe it or not.. I'm surprised that I played a game for that long.

[RetroYoungen]

In one sitting, I played Top Shop for the PS1 for about eight straight hours I think.

Overall, probably four hundred through the various Pokemon titles.  Only one of my games has a full 100 saved hours on it, I've restarted the other versions... I don't know HOW many times.
