    i thought of this thread after reading the story on another forum about a kid who played X Box for 4 days straight so i was just wondering what is the longest you have ever played on a video game for?

    the longest i have played on is for a couple of hours when i am trying to get a lot of the game completed on say LMA manager i used to play that for hours with my mate.

    I'm not sure that it is physiologically possible to play games for 4 days straight without sleep, I remember my firend staying up for three days and then passing oput (breakinbg his jaw and losing three teeth iun the process, much to our amusement.

    I think 40 hours was my maximum, on two linked Amigas playing stuntcar racer with two friends. It was a ****ing epic session which ended when one of the Amigas gave up the ghost and died in a fizzle and puff of smoke.

    I remember breaking my ankle. Was hold up in bed for the first couple of days so decide to time how quick I could complete the fist Halo campaign, start to finish. t was around 5 hours if I remember. Was sick of the console after it and glad for it to be over. Couldnt look near the xbox for a couple of days. Cant understand people who can play consoles multiple hours on end as a regular occurence

    I've sat through games of Civilisation for over 12 hours, played COD for even longer.

    Weeks probably, playing Elite on the C64, fueled by "Space dust" (Amphetamine and pro plus chasers).

    I got so good I could see off a whole fleet of Thargoids in a Witchspace encounter.

    When I was younger I'd probably played games for a long time, can't remember what's my longest but nowadays I pretty much only game for about 30 minute or for an hour on the weekdays.

    In my life I've probably played cod for nearly 30 days.

    FM for a good 20 days and I would say civilisation close to 15 days.

    When I was in school and Uni my holidays would regularly consist of:

    Wake (probably around 9am)
    Breakfast
    Game
    Lunch
    Game
    Dinner
    Game (til around 1am)
    Bed
    Repeat for as long as the holiday.

    Probably averaged out 12-14 hours a day.

    I also played Guild Wars for over 2000 hours, and other games (Diablo 2, now Diablo 3) a lot more than that.

    Still one of my top few games ever. Got a second hand PSP last year and am still amazed that it is possible to play games like that on the go. Makes me feel old.

    I dunno... 8 hours maybe playing Elite Dangerous? Something like that, it may have been less. And I've had the occasional long session of Fifa that's lasted a good few hours because of getting angry and keeping on losing games and refusing to quit until I win.

    Elite was the game, we had BBC micro's at school and everyone had a copy, it waspretty much the first year that IT was a subject, and the teachers knew less than us, so basically as long as we had the computer on and it was doing something the teacher was happy.

    those ****ing Thargoid ****s used to do me every time
