Please definte "stopping". Does getting up to go to grab a snack or going the dunny count? Or are we talking about no breaks longer than, say, 10 mins?

7 hours with FFX was my longest. Came close to that with a few others as
well. over 5 hours with ASB04 was good too.

I've had some long bouts of playing in WoW, EQ, SB, Civ 3, Quake 2, and so many others.

By "without stopping", I'm thinking "Without taking a break longer than 10 minutes".

Sixteen hours of Final Fantasy II.

I once managed 24 hours straight on Lineage 2. I know for a fact that it was 24 because it remined you every hour in the hour to take a break. I'd have gone longer but the server crashed.

I went through at least 12 hour periods of Age of Empires: The Conquerors and boy did I had that a many times. It was the most addicted game I had back in 9th grade crashing over X-Wing Alliance.

I don't really keep track, but on a few games (eg. Baldur's Gate 2, R6: Rogue Spear, Fallout 2, and a few others) I remember playing from morning till pass midnight, taking breaks only long enough to grab lunch/dinner/snack to eat in front of the computer.

although. . . .if you're talking about just videogames and general, as opposed to one single game, back when the SNES had came out me and a friend of mine managed to pull 24 hours straight with fighting games and RPGs thanks to a couple 24 packs of pepsi.

Roughly 6-7 hours of Starcraft:Broodwar, although not all of that was in-game, and some of it was just watching replays.

About 7-8 hours on Pirates Gold.

I played a game Soldiers of Empires from morning to evening once. It's a massive strategy game of the eastern front of ww2. I played as the Soviets trying to hold off the german invasion. There were about 600 units given for each side. Since there was no save function available I kept playing for the whole day taking breaks. I lost at the end of the day though.

I'd say around the neighborhood of 7, 8 hours... 5th grade, when X-Wing vs. Tie Fighter first came out. Then there were the games of Starcraft deep during the night.

During the summer, I get to play from like 10 AM to 4 PM without interruptions (Eat while playing)

If I've just gotten something new, I'll sometimes stay up to 4 AM, on a school night.

12 hrs, warcraft 2, for my 18th birthday.

Once like eighteen hours playing Anarchy Online just because I keep getting one cool team after another and everything was rolling

Sixteen hours on NCAA Football 2004. Took the University of Cincinnati from its current standings to five consecutive national championships, and I always made sure I beat up on OSU once a season. The only thing more fun then recruiting on NCAA is drafting on Madden.

14 hours of FFX, and I still wasn't even close to finishing the game. Honorable mentions include 10 hours of Descent: Freespace, in which I played through the whole main campaign on hard, on my first time through (a lot of deaths in that one).

I can't play for more than about six hours straight. After that much, I start getting hungry and my eyes start getting sore from the glare in the glasses and I have to go to the bathroom and things like that.
