I've gone as long as 12 to 14 hours in one sitting playing a game. Cathy

It really depends on how my day goes...
It also depends on if I really like the game....
I have to say a good three hours...when I first start a game... If I am frustrated for some reason with the game...I will give up & try to play the next day..

I'm up between 4AM and 5AM so I'm on the computer with my coffee and playing games early. Since I'm retired there is no pressure to be off to work. I'll game in the morning till the sunrises.

Varies from day to day from none to fours hours plus, but not enough these days so I tend to only play through games once these days due the variety of games I play. Also I cant no longer play for hours and hours with out get bored these days as modern games lack something these days, ie games tend be rehashed or repetitive.

It depends on the game(s) I'm playing and my circumstances. I get AG crazes, alternated by RPG crazes, sprinkled with strategy or other games inbetween.
Sometimes, like on a weekend, I can go on a binge, and play 6,7, even 8-10 hours non-stop; and sometimes up to 3 AG's in a row, without stopping. I do get burnt-out sometimes, and hardly play a few minutes a day, while resting up..
Weekdays I tend to play from 30 mins to 3 hours a day.

It varies. I'm currently unemployed so I have a lot of time that I can spend gaming - the strange thing is, I don't do it  Or at least not every day. Today, I haven't played at all; yesterday I played 6 hours, I think. On some days I'll play for up to 12 hours - if it's a strategy/simulation game such as The Guild or Pharao. I remember one particular session with Pharao that started on a Friday night around 7 p.m. and ended on the next morning around 9 a.m... this is, however, an exception. With adventures, it's slightly different. I start a game and need a while to get into it. Since most modern AGs tend to be very short, I try to limit the time playing them - I don't want them to be over too soon  I think there's only one AG that I've finished the same day I started it, and that one's Overclocked - I just couldn't switch off the computer, needed to know how the story turned out and played for 8-10 hours until the game was finished. Usually I don't do this because I want to enjoy the game a little longer; Overclocked was an exception.
Shiny.

I am basically an on again off again type of player. I play mostly on the weekends and then only for three or four hours. I currently have a number of unfinished games on my hard drive.

Yikes Bernard, you'll have to let us know what that game was! I've gamed a few times all day and night until the birds started chirping, got my zz's in and finished the game the next day, but that's the limit to my stamina and obsession.  Can anyone beat Bernard's record?

Don't look at me! My record is a measly one night of sleep missed. Kudos, Bernard. Must...know...the...game! Spill!

Back when I still was playing RPG's I'd game all day and all night, stopping only for the bathroom. It was necessary since my character was joined with others in different states and I couldn't just leave. I'd even game at work, got another worker interested, and when WE got caught by the boss, he got hooked too.
Now I just play maybe 1/2 hour or an hour a day or so when nothing else in the real world is happening and I mostly play Adventure or HOG's, where I can stop whenever I want. Still fun, still thrilling when I finish a game, not gonna quit.
