Re: Your longest Game-a-thon...

Probably like 14-20 hrs with friends playing No Mercy on N64 when it came out.

We were at the age where sleepovers were acceptable for guys, we'd just have tag team ladder matches all night.

Is that the one where you could climb the TitanTron? We would play that for hours on end trying to succesfully hit a 5 Star Frog Splash with RVD or Kurt Angles's Anglesault while someone was lying on a table. Took freaking ages to pull it off.

Re: Your longest Game-a-thon...

My roomate and I played FFX for 12 hours during a massive snow storm. We couldn't even leave our place so we at least had an excuse.

I must have played a few 10 hour stretches of Team Fortress Classic and Diablo 2 back in '99 when I didn't have an excuse.

RBI Baseball for the NES. Me and my friend played from 4pm until about 5am. All while keeping stats on notebook paper.

Me and my friends played a 16 hour game of Risk(board game) once. We used to bet on everything so we were playing for money. I remember wives calling and crying. The massive headache the sun coming up, wives calling again. It was silly, game started at 7pm and was still going on at 11 am the next morning. We have since decided to not not bet on Risk anymore. Poker nights only have 1 rule now, you have to stay to midnight or your money is gone whichever comes first. Once Midnight hits, everyone is free to leave without any P*ssy Whip jokes. We almost all got strung up by the balls for that Risk fiasco.

Re: Your longest Game-a-thon...

Had about 5 friends over and played like 4 full monopoly games. I don't even remember how long it was.

With only one computer and two brothers, we were always taking turns playing either TFC or Diablo 2, so once we started up at 8PM, we would take turns every half hour or so and wouldn't go to sleep until about 3 or 4 in the morning. Other than those two games, I can't remember ever playing a game more than 3 hours at a time.

Tecmo Super Bowl... season in a day. And playoffs. Those took a while.

Smaller ones, I remember playing NHL 2k3 for like 4-6 straight hours.

Re: Your longest Game-a-thon...

13-15 hours when I got my first XBox. It came to an end when I passed out playing NASCAR Thunder 2002 and I was driving along the wall, The rumble woke me up and I finally decided to go to bed

Now I know I've done that. Hell I do that now. When I was at school, during Christmas vacation one year I stayed behind to work. Pretty much every spare moment I had was spent on the Playstation with Madden until my girl came back down to visit.

I don't know the number exactly, but I used to have some pretty long gaming sessions back then, at least 8 hour binges. Get an ounce, get the glow and zone out.

Re: Your longest Game-a-thon...

Geeze... not real sure.

I know I played Halo Co-Op for a long time when I first got my XBox. Maybe 6 hours or so. I was dreaming in Halo.

I've spent some long nights playing NFL Head Coach too... like 5 hours at a time.

I played NHL2K7 with a buddy about a week ago for 4 hours or so. We had some drinks and were trying to see how far we could get in a season with 2 minute periods. My parents woke up to go to work and I figured it was time to go to bed at that point.


I can't remember playing anything much longer.

Re: Your longest Game-a-thon...

Had plenty of 4-5 hr. sessions, especially in college.

Goldeneye on the N64, NFL Blitz, No Mercy

and NCAA Football on the PS2 (when the PS2 first came out)

Re: Your longest Game-a-thon...

played numerous complete runs through civilization II that would last about 12 hours ..

Re: Your longest Game-a-thon...

I remember playing Wave Race 64 for 7 hours straight after coming home from school one day (was 10 or 11 at the time). My sister and I were forced to do so since my parents had some consultant over until late, so I spent most of the time unlocking the dolphin.

More recently, during an achievement boosting session, i would've played Prey multiplayer from 12am-3am, followed immediately by a UEFA Euro 2008 session with a British guy from 3am-6am.

I have quite a few 3-hour sessions nowadays, or 4/5-hour sessions with a short break in between. When i played Fallout 3 last October or November, i would've played it 70-75 hours in 10 days (wasn't working at the time), but each individual session would've maxed out at 5 hours.
