Back in the days of v 1.20 of Flashpoint there were a couple of times I easily spent 8 hours a day or so. Then there was a summer a couple of years ago where some friends and I did an all-night gaming party at some internet cafe. I think I enjoyed it for the first 4-5 hours but we were there for 10+. I could hardly stay awake on the bus ride home

It took my buddy and I 6 hours to get through the first 4 campaigns, it was the first time we played this game, on a sunday afternoon from 13.30 to 19.30. Our colleagues the day after had their ears filled with our little "war stories". I don't have all the details in memory, but it was quite nice with some nice coop work.

Name: Total Annihilation

Platform: PC

Game type: SP Skirmish vs CPU

# of hours: 51 hours (essential food & loo runs excluded). 5pm Friday to 7pm Sunday

Explanation: Very, *very* bored one weekend and stuck on base, so I just played and played and played.

Ended up only being a 3 matches across a custom 40x40 map (which for those that know, are stupidly huge crazy_o.gif and take hours upon hours to conquer).

Would I do it again now? Not if my wife has anything to do with it. wink_o.gifbiggrin_o.gif

Platform: PC

Game type: MP 12 person LAN

Duration: I managed being up 32 hours straight. Longest I'd ever want to spend gaming. Though the LAN lasted from Friday @ 6pm till Monday @ 3pm over a long weekend. (Of course we did other stuff as well, but those juvenile delinquent activities will remain under wraps. The town has never really been the same.  tounge_o.gif )

What we ate: Bacon and eggs in the morning, Maccas for lunch and Pizzas for tea. A trolly load of chips, lollies and other junk foods. Lots of caffine rich drinks, 6 cartons of beer, so just enough to split between 12 people over 3 nights. And who knows how many kW's of power.

We stayed sanitary by swimming in a salt pool and showering under a cold shower.

Very. Very good fun.

Baldurs Gate!

That day I had catch a train to St. Raphael (near St. Tropez). I woke up early and couldnt wait to get holidays at the beach and a nice countryside house. Played all morning, catched the train (something like 15 hours I think) But when I arrived I turned that thing off). So all in all maybe 18 hours

Without no possible contest : Daggerfall on PC

When i bought this game , few time after it went retail , i played it a -very- lot in the same day/night , i dont even remember having gone to bed smile_o.gif.

I think the close second was Dungeon Master on AtariST, i cant remember the number of hours played the first day.

Bard's Tale 2 had a good score on the whole day playing level , on my CPC464.

Metal Gear Solid on PS: maybe 12 hrs, played it through in one night as soon as i got my hands on it.

Duke Nukem3d: 6 hrs non stop, right after that i started playing Crusader No remorse for another 4 hours...damn my neck hurt so bad that day tounge_o.gif

Final Fantasy7 on PS: several nights...uncountable hours, maybe 15 hrs nonstop on the first day, awesome game !

Resident Evil 2 on PS: my personal overkill, played it through 5 - 8 times in one night together with a friend.

When I was at school in my younger days we went to a house one of my friends dad owns in austria. It was in the Ibner Moor (swamp). We shut the curtains and played gunship for 1 day and 48 hours elite. We smoked cheap cigarettes because of the mosquitos and were literally blinded by the light when we left the house after 3 days of gaming  biggrin_o.gif

And well OFP...

Editing always sucked me in for days. 8 hours are nothing.

I guess my record with OFP is around 16 - 24 hours if not more.
