Yesterday, Phantom Brave.
I got up at noon and started playing. I took a 1 hour break around 10pm for food, then came back. I stopped playing around 7:30am this morning.
17 and a half hours.

Same here; Quake 2 owned me in college sophomore year. Weekend marathon sessions were the norm. My longest was from 8PM Fri night till 8AM Sunday morning. Since then I can't go any longer than a day without crashing (or losing interest).
I recall it as I just about collapsed after I was finished.
20 hours Morrowind.
I started at 10am and went till 6am the next morning. I took a few short breaks. The last break was about 10PM and I lost track of time after that. Then the sun started to rise and I knew that I over did it.

8-10 hours gaming sessions of Mario Kart 64/Goldeneye during High School. It happened many times.
Those were the days.

You're all mega geeks.
The latest one I can remember was playing Mario Sunshine hardcore style over 3 days. The usual unproper eating periods, toilet breaks kept to a minimum and doing it all in peace and quiet.
I remember renting Breath of Fire II out one afternoon and played it till the sun rose, god knows how many hours that was.
The freakiest was when I was playing MGS2, got about 8 hours in or so and it was roughly 4am, tired as.. then Col. Campbell starts freaking out and tells me "you've had the console on for too long haven't you?! don't you think it's time to turn it off Raiden!"
"TURN THE GAME CONSOLE OFF NOW!"
Needless to say, I shat myself and was quite hesitant in finishing it up the next day.

Back around 1994 or so, I traded Wanderer's from Ys 3 for Final Fantasy 2 at a point. Felt good getting one over on those sons of bitches. But anyway, when I got home, I played for 6 hours, went to sleep, then proceeded to play 16 hours the next day and the one after that. God damn, I miss that.

Solo play:
Project Gotham Racing,gaining all Golds,it'll make the hair on your balls stand up and salute you. Such a demanding game. I played all day,something like 8 hours straight trying to finish up the final 3 events.
Multi player,-what else...Halo. Played a few 6 hour marathons with friends. Death match and cooperative play never gets old.
*NOTE* the funniest gaming moment ever would be having casual video game friends try to drive home after playing 6 hours of Halo. Mass dizziness soon follows them,so much that you have to drive them home.

FFVII probably about 30 hours.
Panzer Dragoon Saga/Wind Waker, somewhere around the 24+ hours . Played Saga from start to finish, because my friend didn't have a memory card or whatever for it. Then played Wind Waker till I passed out. Had one, 1 hour break because my friend made me go out to eat, the bastard. Other than that, no food, no drinks, no bathroom breaks. I don't know the exact hours, all I remember is seeing my friend go to work, and then him coming home, and then the next morning going to work again.

Well, after I got DC, I bought it over my friend's house and we played Soul Calibur and NFL2K and NBA2K for the whole day, slept for a little bit, then played for the whole next day. There was some GTA2 mixed in.
Other than that, never anything over 5 hours. I'm not that hardcore it seems.

I think the longest was 16 hours for me.
My cousin and i played through DK when it first came out. His parents were away and we played all night, throughout the day, eating inbetween without blinking an eye.
Good days back then.

This "friend" was me. I remember it vividly. Sumidor was my roommate at the time and we were both working at Nintendo for Christmas break. He was let go by our manager one afternoon, went back home, and started up Panzer Dragoon Saga. My Saturn memory cart was busted so if you turned the system off you lost all progress.
I came home later that evening and he was just getting warmed up. I woke up the next morning, he was still playing. I came back from work (again) and he was still playing.
We then went out to dinner, came back to the apartment, and he finally beat it around 11 pm, roughly 20 hours after he started. The scary part was, after he beat Saga he loaded up Rygar on PS2 and got halfway through it before passing out.
The most hardcore gaming session I've ever witnessed. Sumidor old buddy, wanna move in November 9?

Longest was playing Mario 64 for the first time, with two friends, trying to unlock as much as we could. It lasted 12+ hours with pretty much no breaks for anything except getting a soda, and going to the bathroom.

Final Fantasy XI. About 13 hours a day for 2 days straight.
Breath of Fire 3, for the PSX, at around 32 hours straight. I took only one bathroom break and a bag of cheetos i had in my room was the only thing i ate.
I had no memory card for my PSX and i was determined to beat the game in a day. I got to the other continent but by then I couldn't stay up anymore so I went to sleep while I kept my PSX on. I woke up the next morning and my PSX was turned off. I didn't want to start from scratch again but i eventually replayed it (this time using a memory card to save my progress) about 4 years ago.
I've had other marathons (usually around 15 hours each) like this using my 1001 series PSX and it still works!
