Which game did you play so much, that you had to leave your console on for the longest in one period of time.

For me it's actually pretty recent, and happened just today. It was with FFXII, and I was playing from 12 a.m. to 11 p.m.

FF12. I foundout about the self lvling farming spot in some ruins where this one boss infintely spawned his minions. Decoy on vahn and the rest attacked him. I left it on for 7 hours while at school.

Urbz for the Gameboy Advance, I reckon.... or maybe Disgaea & Disgaea 2 (which i played end to end like a slavering, obsessed junkie :D) .... but there are so many contenders, especially RPGs ;)

Other known suck-in spots include :

Resident Evil 4

Devil May Cry 3

Atelier Iris

Arc : twilight of the Spirits

Star Ocean 3 : Till the end of time

Eternal Darkness

Lol it may sound like a weird choice but it was Madden for me. I spent all night playing and I think I actually finished a season.

Probably Morrowind. That game sucks you in so easily, and it only lets you leave when you absolutely have to do so.

:D Naaaaaaa na na na na na naaaaa na na, Katamari Damashiiiii....

The original was never released here, but I reckon that the sequel is excellent !

I have found that it's harder to sit down to and play a large chunk of in a oner, in quite the same intensive way as I did with the RPGs I've mentioned, but many whole days would go by with 'We Love Katamari' being delved in and out of all day.

I think it was called "Caesar and Cleopatra" a strategy game for the Sega Genesis i think. The battles were LOOONG and you couldn't save the game, so I wound up leaving the sega on so I didnt lose my place.

I have never done any crazy long gaming days, but for me, probably Tales of Symphonia. One summer I would play that about 5 or 6 hours every day for a week and a bit.

Probably Tomb Raider Legend, it was the first game I bought for my PS2 and didn't bother to get a memory card. So I played it for as long as I could and then had to leave it on with the TV off until the stores opened.

well Technically GTAIII because it was the first game i got for ps2 and i didnt have a memory card so i left it on for ages like a week or two until i finally bought a memory card.

but if you mean the longest game i left on while playing it would have to be Canis Canem Edit (bully) for ps2 i played from 6p.m to 6a.m 12 hours straight i played it all night while my cousin played computer Those were some good times.

I'm surprised your PS2 didn't overheat. That's a long time to leave on a system, any system, and expect it to not overheat.

I left my Gamecube on over night to unlock Mewtwo in SSBM, but if you mean actually playing the game I played Paper Mario: TTYD for about 12 hours straight when I first got it. I've also played Final Fantasy Tactics Advance in 8 hour bursts every day for about a week:o

Back when saves didn't exist, and few games had passwords I would commonly leave my NES on got a week at a time.


In terms of longest period of time actively playing one game without break, probably Civilization 3 for the PC. For consoles I think the honour probably goes to Super Mario RPG for the SNES.

Civ III is awsome.. I had a 6-8 hour bus ride to Ottawa once, and a buddy had lent me this old 486 laptop with Civ I on it. That bus trip FLEW by. What an awsome game. III is still a great game as well. I should reinstall that puppy...

I played SNES's Lufia 2 with Ancient Cave Quest for straight 15 hours. I failed to reach 100th floor.

I played Playstation's Xenogears for straight 10 hours before my Playstation's rotor died.

It has to be Metal Gear Solid 3: Subsistence (Snake Eater). I didn't know how time would appear to pass by so fast while playing this game.

ditto for here, but I left it on for about 2 days... for the Frederick guy that asked for more info, just google it, youtube it, or search the FFXII forums here. it's very easy to set up, and it's not really for farming, just leveling up automatically, and it takes a good 10 hours or more to do any decent type of leveling.

If you're talking PC also, I'd say probably Red Alert. I'd play multiplayer on huge maps, they would just be massive campaigns that would each take hours. I'd play one after another, until the whole day & well into the night was shot.

I always save and turn off the console & tv when I won't play for at least an hour.

The longest time I played non-stop is only 5 hours...Okami!
