lol, that game ruled. I played that on the PS1 for God knows how many f'n hours once.

BuddyHawks · 10-20-2003, 08:03 PM

Oh man, Diablo 2 LOD. Good God, the most addicting thing ever. HOURS AND HOURS!!! Cow runs, Meph runs, rushing people, Dueling, Wheeling and Dealing in the trade channels. My friends and I finally had to uninstall the game after about a year and we havn't played it since.

Mr.Deflok · 10-20-2003, 08:30 PM

If it's a really good game probably about 1am.

HOWEVER, Final Fantasy 8 had me up to about 4 am (from starting at 1pm) once, such a beautiful game.

Ho-train · 10-20-2003, 10:29 PM

10+ hours logged easy playing Socom:navy seals into the wee hours of the night.

hansthemolemann · 10-20-2003, 11:08 PM

I dont know the exact time, but I have spent the better half of a day playing TFC.

Hrothgar · 10-20-2003, 11:10 PM

Back in the days of my EQ addiction it was no problem for me to play 20+ hours at a time with a 6pack of Diet Coke and assorted snacks on my lap.

Scary thing is I'm actually thinking of reactivating my account.

Semi-Normal · 10-21-2003, 01:43 AM

Not sure about my record for playing one game straight, but it was probably Baldur's Gate 2. I finished that monster in about 4-5 days, exploring everywhere and doing all the subquests. Prolly around 20 hours. Thank god I'm not that badly addicted to my computer any more.

IckUber · 10-21-2003, 02:03 PM

I think the longest i have ever played is, Morrowwind, or diablo 2 for at least 8-10 hours.

Rudel73 · 10-21-2003, 03:39 PM

Wow and i thought my 10 hours straight was a good record! Damn nice work fellas lol

CyN1caL · 10-21-2003, 03:52 PM

I usually took 4 hour naps and played from 10am-6am when I played Diablo 2 hardcore one summer.

H12 · 10-21-2003, 04:49 PM

I've pulled many all-nighters as a kid with many of the games I had then (Bionic Commando, Sonic and Knuckles, Boogerman, Contra, Super Mario 3, Dr. Robotnik's Mean Bean Machine, EarthWorm Jim...probably afew more, too). The last all-nighter I think I've pulled though was when Mario Party was new. Of course, I've still had alot of late-night playing since then.

Games i have played for more than 12 hours in one setting :

Ultima 6
Ultima underworld 1&2
Warlords
Fallout
Ultima Online (several serverup > serverdown sessions on that one

)

opentocomments · 10-22-2003, 05:04 PM

Starcraft 1995 8am saturday 2am sunday

Thats like 40 hours or something.

Just wanted to add i still play good old starcraft and if u wish to slaugter me Binarykiller on USeast

Poloboy · 10-22-2003, 07:20 PM

Just under 72 hours straight for EQ back in the day.

iktoweya · 10-22-2003, 08:49 PM

i beat final fantasy VII in 6 days. in the middle of gameplay i had to go out and actually buy a memory card to continue. i roughly had 120+ hours on that game not including the several times i had to continue or mini breaks to nap and eat

halfshot182 · 10-23-2003, 07:12 PM

metroid prime. from when i got it around like 3ish. till 5 in teh morning. thats like 14 hours.... i did stop to eat dinner and stuff though.... =)

][)ick}{ea][) · 10-23-2003, 08:43 PM

Oh man! Guardian Legend! I stayed up for 3 straight days playing Guardian Legend cause that game was awe inspiring. It's like Zelda crossed with Raiden Trad with a little Crystalis mixed in for flavor. I still go back and play the heck out of Guardian Legend every now and again... these days though, I have the luxury of emulation and save states.

Those old school passwords were such a huge pain. For example, games with password features that rendered the game almost unplayable: Legacy of the Wizard, River City Ransom, Guardian Legend. Ante up, I'm curious if anyone else remember these colossal pains in the ass.

Dibbler · 10-24-2003, 12:17 PM

The last game was KOTOR. Got up saturday morning about 7am and played till 3am the next day. I just kept telling myself "OK, I'll finish this part and then quit" but it never happened.

The worst are those game where you get so engrossed that you dream about them at night and spend all day at work thinking through strategies and then can't wait to get home and try them out. I've woken from dreams at 4am and had to get up and play for a couple hours then go back to bed at 6 or 7.

hehe, i was at that lan, and i was in that clan. Hi mike!

but yea, it was a 24 hour lan, and I managed to stay up all 24 hours of it playing CS tourneys and pubs all day and night and day long

Zerakule · 10-26-2003, 04:46 AM

I stayed up for 2 nights playing Animal Crossing nonstop when it first came out.

visious · 10-26-2003, 02:25 PM

I spent bout 24 hours playing a halo turnament with my buds, it was a huge game capture the flag to 30 points and with 8 ppl total playing, it took a long fucking time, we lost tho

but by only one point so thats not 2 bad

numist · 10-26-2003, 02:38 PM

I played Fallout 2 for almost 3 days before I fell asleep. When I woke up I started playing again. I lived off of peanut butter toast, and did that for a week, only sleeping when I didnt have the energy to move the mouse...

fun!

meepa · 10-26-2003, 03:11 PM

I played Ultima Online for 23ish hours once. They had an hour down-time for maintanence every morning at 10am, so I started when it came up, and played all day, all night, all morning until it went back down.

Blistex · 10-26-2003, 04:30 PM

I installed Hearts of Iron and had the game speed set to a slower setting. By the time 1945 rolled along I had been playing it for over 15 hours.

I couldn't look at a computer screen for a week after that.

CBlend · 10-26-2003, 07:16 PM

Civilization III has taken a couple of full weekends from me. That game is great!

Reese · 10-27-2003, 06:16 AM

Without a nap about 30 hours of Tecmo Superbowl tourny, wasnt playing full time though.

Without nap, and playing full time about 18 hours of KOTOR

I also played alot of daoc, but I don't think I ever got a chance to play it for really really extended periods of time... get disconnected and dont feel like reconnecting and stuff like that..

canucker · 10-27-2003, 10:47 AM

I remember getting together with my buddies and playing NHL91 from Friday to Monday. Lot's of Whiskey and smoke

Gardack · 10-27-2003, 02:21 PM

Back in college I'd play EQ pretty much all weekend. Order 2 large pizzas, buy 1 get 1 free coupons rock, on Friday night and eat pizza and play EQ all weekend. About 8 hours Friday night, then 15 hours each on Saturday and Sunday. Glad I graduated and broke the addiction.

31Friction · 10-27-2003, 08:14 PM

I think 12-14hrs was my longest on the old Dragon Warrior for Nintendo

Keanu · 10-28-2003, 02:51 AM

when motor city online(now defunct) came out i played around 6-12 hours a day

Joy-Stick · 10-28-2003, 11:38 AM

hmmm well i have prolly only gone about 48 hours or so straight on cs. however my friend has gone to a couple 3 day lans but i think he slept for a couple hours. my dad and a bunch of his cs clan use to go to one of the guys offices that had a t1 line split between another biulding over the weekend and chill there for about 48 hours or so. of corse most the time he would come back for a couple hours make sure shits okay and then go stright back but it was good clean fun. gotta love the 2-7 ping in pubs

although the best has to of been when we were runing servers outa our livin room and had a 1.5/1.5 adsl line and i was getting about 5-10 ping everywhere in my own living room. ahhh lpb's bitching about my ping.

hy_ · 10-28-2003, 07:30 PM

Counter-Strike, about 12 hours, and D2:LOD 12 hours too

magnum · 10-28-2003, 08:58 PM

14 hours straight with Final Fantasy Tactics (GBA)

nico · 10-29-2003, 12:21 AM

I'm not positive, but probably 36hours or so playing FF7.

Intangible · 10-29-2003, 10:15 AM

Diablo 2: 10 hrs maybe?
Unicycles: (SNES!!!) 42+ hrs
CS: 8 hrs

Jervis · 10-29-2003, 10:35 AM
