I don't know about a single stretch - there have been so many - but I've logged at least 500 hours in Civ4.

One night a couple of friends and I played Sega Bass fishing for the dreamcast for a solid 18 hours. I think it was one of the first games with a cool peripheral (a fishing rod) that actually worked. On the plus side, we did have a full aquarium by the end of the night.

I remember back when I was younger I would play that game Graal into the wee hours of the night, then the next day.

I'd have to say the longest I've ever spent playing a video game was maybe 8 hours or so. I've only played games this long twice. Both with my childhood love. I was too shy to tell her how I felt. Boys are dumb sometimes. I knew she really liked me but I was always retarded around her. No girl in her right mind would watch some boy play video games for 8 hours straight unless she really liked him.

FYI, the two games were The Legend of Zelda on NES and Secret of Mana on SNES.

I've spent way too much total time on WoW.

I'd say, though, that I've never played a game for more than 8 hours straight, but I could be wrong.

I will buy a 360 to play the copy that I win.

I've put in several 5pm to 8am type sessions with things like GTA:SA, KotOR and Jade Empire, but the most memorable marathon gaming session was when I played MGS2 all night, and by the time I hit part where the game goes haywire, I couldn't tell what was me hallucinating from a lack of sleep, and what part was the game f***ing with me.

I'm not sure how long my longest session was but I'd say around 12-14 hours. My longest game time was definitely Dark Cloud. I maxed out the save game timer so I have no idea how long I actually played it for.

Probably the longest time would've been from WoW, not sure how long, but at least 10 to 12 hours straight.
