The longest i ever played was about 33 hours. it was school holidays and I got up at 6pm and started playing. At 3am my mum stormed in and screamed at me for a bit the npulled the plug out of the wall and killed the computer. I had played with one character for nearly 9 hours until she broke it.
Overide for about 9 hours and Nova for a pitiful 4 hours.

Yes, Earth is too tough. 
Even with the Cruisers Heavy Fusion Beam, 4 Seeker Drone Launchers+ 80 Seeker Drones and 3 Alien Fighters it takes so long. No wonder, then- it has 3172 ships. The moral of the lesson: dont Demand Tribute from Earth!

About 20 hours, give or take. Just playing, trading, not much fighting. Well, some.

Hmmm... about 48 hours, possibly a few more than that. My older brother and I got our hands on it back in 1996 as soon as the game came out (I go back as far as Maelstrom ;)) and started playing it on a week we didn't have school. We played it consistently from a Thursday night to Saturday night...
Sad.

We kept making swaps at the computer chair every time myself or he got blown up.
Heck yeah, we were tired. But when you're as old as we were at the time, you could care less...

Ahh to be young and invincible again. If I tried to do that now, my heart would probably explode violently. Back in August '96 however, after I cracked open that first Mac Addict disk, I remember playing on my friends Performa 600 series in his solarium (I was only blessed with a Mac SE) for about 36 hours. Noon on a Thursday to a bit after 11 on Friday. Like you Kyle, I was trading off with somebody but he sucked =P. At about 8 in the morning on friday, we discovered the bulk-freighter + Mass Expansion bug. That changed everything. Now I just wish I had figured out the command+option bulk-buying option. That would've saved us a lot of clicking while we were buying torpedos...

I've never played for longer than five hours myself, but that's just because I like to breaks to watch TV or read something. Christmas break I broke out all 3 games and played them combined for about 60 hours in three days, which is not that bad, really. I started on a Monday, 10 am, played on and off till Wednesday morning 5 am, gave up, fell asleep for two hours (I have no idea why I didn't just stay asleep), played off and on until Thursday 11 am, had lunch, went to bed right afterwards and didn't wake up until Friday 10:30 am. Of course I don't quite remember exactly, so all times are estimates, but still, that much EV cannot be good for you, no matter how good the games are.

Crap. I thought I was crazy. 60 hours is going to be the most, unless somebody already started trying to get 61.

Yes it is. I guess nobody wants to break a record that is unhealthy. You thought you were crazy? How long did you play? 40 hours combined in three days?
