Longest time you have played video games?

I've played loads of games over the years on long sessions. Going back to my Atari ST days at University, we'd spend whole weekends with 8 of us playing Kick Off tournaments through the night on shift work, including a season long tournament for 9 months. More recently, Skyrim Elder scrolls was one I'd 'just do another hour' on. When the other half went on holiday to see her daughter I spent best part of a week playing it with breaks for a bit of sleep only - eat while you play ! Now, it's mostly Fifa, if the lads are on we play until we drop. The club I'm in has players in UK, US, and New Zealand, so right across the time zones which makes saying I'm going to bed now, a bit harder.

My old flatemate used to be obsessed with EverQuest.
That was the longest I ever witnessed gaming - he was playing before I went to bed and after I got up again.
Had to have a mini-intervention with him at one point.
he was going home from the pub early to take part in raids.
Was time to disconnect!
He must have put in 18 hour shifts at times.

I've lost hours to Elder Scrolls games, Skyrim most recently and Dragon age games. You just get sucked in and lose track of time.

I might be the winner here.

A ZX spectrum game called Trebble Champions. It was a football manager game, very addictive but also fairly slow. It took about 12 hours to finish a season.

It was the summer holidays (no school).

Day 1 : I cant remember what time I started but lets assume midday. Played it right through nonstop, stopping only for toilet breaks. I ate my dinner at the computer desk. About 10pm my mum told me to go to bed, and I said I would. She then went to bed and I stayed up ALL night on it. Mum woke up at 9am and saw me on computer and I said I just woke up lol

Day2 : Played it all day again only breaking for toilet. That night was tough, a few times that I blinked and almost fell asleep!

Day3 : At this point I was feeling weird, I cant really explain it. But it wasnt tired it was just a strange feeling. A bit dizzy. The 2nd day was battling tiredness but this day it was almost like I'd defeated the need to sleep. Anyway played it all through the day and at midnight I convinced myself that I dont need sleep, I can just play this forever. Then I decided to look at myself in the mirror. It was frightening. I had great big tea bags under my eyes, I looked like a zombie and I thought to myself ..... 'That doesnt look healthy" and I went to bed.

I slept for about 15 hours!

So in total 60 hours, thereabouts

On my own and on one game, probably The Sims for about 8 hours. Felt like 8 minutes!
With someone else and rotating games, probs 16 hours or so.

Playing with my friends we can banish 14 hours rotating between Fifa, Minecraft etc.

I think I did Battlefield 4 for 12 hours, definitely the most I have achieved on PS4.

After I graduated when I didn't have work yet. I would play about 10 hours straight, I'd eat in front of a screen and if I could do that with peeing I probably would've.

When I was studying for my GCSEs my friend and I would play GTA vice city for 4 hours at a time lol
