Your greatest video game marathon

What's the longest video game marathon you've ever been on? I ask because last night I played Resident Evil 5 non-stop with a friend, start to finish, for 16 hours (5 pm - 9 am). It was almost literally nonstop. Over the 16 hours we didn't play for only about 30-45 minutes (dinner + bathroom breaks).

But I'm sure it pails in comparison to some Gamespotters' video game marathons.

like 14 hours

the longest ive ever played a game non stop was about 5 hours. i dont have the time to play for like 10+ hours at a time

used to spend a good 10 or 11 hours a day playing network races of GTR2 with my ex-housemate last year, from the early afternoon until the late evening, interspersed with drinking cider and popping to the shop for salted snack goodness. amazing times.

on my own, probably some sort of all-day Final Fantasy VII or VIII sesh.

17 hours playing FF9

about 10 hours. I had many breaks though.

14 hours of warriors co-op on xbox with my friend, that was a good night.

also 11 hours straight of GTAIV the day it came out.

3 days of Splinter Cell Non Stop :P Then I went outside and fell asleep in a chair :lol:

fallout 3 for 14 hours in one day. the only other marathons that come close were 8 hours of oblivion every day for 5 days straight or 4 hours of cod4 every day for 2 months. other top condenters are wow for about 6 hours every day during the free month and tloz: a link to the past completed in one sitting.

Back in my WoW days, I played for 8 hours straight. Over a year and a half, WoW ate 40 days of my life. :cry:

I'm an older gamer so here's goes: I've played many games for the Master System but the two games I played for a long time in one setting were Choplifter and Hang-On. I also played Donkey Kong on the NES, and Super Off Road on the Sega Genesis each at different times for who knows how many hours as these games never end. The games go on and on until the user gives up or just stops playing. I would say I played for 8 to 12 hours on average per game.

Probably when my firends brought over a 360 (i play pc) and we played cod4 for at least 11 hours with a 3 hour break in the middle (walked a couple of miles in the middle of the night for no reason)

My longest WoW marathon was 3 days straight (taking around 2 hour break in total for bathroom / making food in the microwave)

Addictions can be scary (this was vanilla wow) =)

Baldur's Gate 2: 60 hours.

I ate during dialogue.

The weekend Halo 3 was released I got two freinds to come over and we played through the whole campaign non stop for 12 hours (the reason it took so long was because during the final warthog sequence, we got into a compitition of trying to make the other one fail and it took 2 hours to complete). After that we played the multiplayer for another 8 hours, then watched all 3 final destination movies in a row.

I played Animal Crossing on the gamecube for about 7 hours on the first day. And back when I first got the N64, I played Mario Kart 64 for several hours.

I don't know about a marathon, but I can recall I used to play KOTOR from 2:00pm to about 4:30am for about a week (Meal and bathroom breaks included of course).

The week I got KOTOR. Good lord, that was an awesome week.

When tony hawks american wasteland 2 came out, I beat it one sitting and it was like 9 hours..

edit: i meant tony hawks underground 2

Erm, 7 or 8 hours on Gunz Online, long time ago, one time. 6 hours on WarRock, one time. I would never play 10 hours or more on a videogame, but one of my friends have played Kingdom Hearts II at my house for 12 hours straight, going from the start, to the beginning of the Pirates of Caribbean world.

i would say a good 15 hours back in the day with a few buddies play james bond 007 golden on the N64. other than that one day straight of cod4, it doesnt look like u do alot during a day of just straight gaming but man do u get tired lol

when i was getting the warlord title ( pvp rank) in WOW.. i would play about 10 hours on weekdays and about 20 hours weekends , their was one saturday i played like 23 hours.. and i almost threw up at one point... those were the days.. their hasnt been a game since wow that ive been able to play for soo long, and not get bored either..nimatoad2000

Before Halo 2 came out, some friends and I had a Halo 1 LAN multiplayer party for a couple hours. Then while some friends went to the Halo 2 launch, I played through the entire Halo campain with a buddy. After that we had a Halo 2 LAN party. It was freakin' awesome.8)

my guild was also #80 illidan kill, we were #1 guild on our srvr and i was lock lead, so i was best geared lock and best 5v5 team on srvr.. so when i said " i'm kind of a big deal around here " in trade chat.. i meant it and ppl knew it. but our guild died last april, and thats when i quit.. i'm actually pretty happy i quit.. i enjoy real life much more now, and no guild i couldve transfered to wouldve ever replaced the guild i was in, not only in skill i mean, but the relationship i had with my guildies.nimatoad2000

Wow 80th, i managed to clear sunwell on the lock, but we was nowhere near the top 100, not even number 1 on the server.

And i know what you mean about your relationship with your guildies, i've been in my guild for over 3 years, and if it ever died i could never join a new one.

But i think we've gone slightly off-topic here :P
