Fable. Shortest game ever. Beat the main quest in around 9 hours, the first time through.

Longest, I don't have one. Haven't beaten many games, though I will give Morrowind credit for sucking away over a hundred hours on one of my saves.

I'm just going from what games I own, for either Gamecube or PC, to clarify that.

Longest :: Tales of Symphonia. Metroid Prime (either the first or second) would be my second choice. Near the end of the first disc (after going around making pacts with all the summon spirits), I kept finding myself wondering when it was going to end, and how they wouldn't be able to come up with much stuff to put in the game after that, but there is On the computer side, I'd probably say Half-Life 2. It kept me occupied for a fair bit of time. Any of the Avernum series (but I'm more leaning towards 2 or 3) would also come close.

Shortest :: Soul Calibur II, but that might be attributed to the fact that I basically decided to forgo sleep one night, and play nothing but that game Once again, for the computer, well, this game is very old, but Myst. Yes, the first one

Pokemon Colloseum was pretty damn long for what it was I actualy wasn't expecting it to be at all like it was. But any Pokemon game, in theory, is long if you wanna complete the Pokedex as for the shortest...Tetris okay, or maybe Kirby's Dream Land

The longest game I played is Morrowind, for sure.
The it's probably Tales of Symphonia (spent 200+ hours on it across 5 games.... yes 5)

Shortest would either be Goldeneye: Rogue Agent, or The Legend of Zelda: Four Sword Adventures.

Game I can beat the quickest while spending the most time on it (not including fighting games, cause those are by nature short.) Mega Man X3, I can beat that game crazy quick, I think 45 mins or so, and I've spent about a months worth of my life on the game, I don't even think anymore when I play it.

Longest game I've ever played, single play through, would definately be Xenogears. I got one game on that that took me 80+hrs. It is one of my favorite games and I got basically everything on that, got fei up to lv. 70 so I could get all his skills, itw as great.

Longest... Xenogears. I've played games that are apparently longer, but I didn't play them for as long.

Shortest... depends. As for shortest in a single play-through, it'd probably be Metroid Zero Mission because I can beat that in a little over an hour. But I've played through it many times, so I've actually put quite a lot of time into it. For shortest total play time (only counting games I've made a serious effort to play) Mario Party springs to mind... any of them.

Rygar (NES), while a good game, is extremely easy to play through quickly. The key is to spend 5-10 minutes in Lapis defeating Bargans - once you get the hang of that, you'll breeze through the game since you'll have enough strength built up.

Actually, the longest I'VE ever spent on a game is either Pokemon Yellow or FF: Tactics Advance. Pokemon Yellow had 90 hours logged. FFTA had approx. 120.

Longest thus far? La Pucelle: Tactics, but only to get everything. Currently I'm looking at a 100 hour game and I still don't have the damned Demon Overlord title and my best human character is at Lv. 830. Game itself boasts of 120 hours of gameplay. I 'beat' it in 40. Pok

Shortest was Kirby's Dreamland for Game Boy, 20min after purchasing it, I beat it. It's a good game, allways fun to play again.

Longest? Don't really know, Rollercoaster Tycoon, where one mission takes about 5 hours or more, or Super Smash Bros. Melee for Multiplayer fun.

I guess this is including newer games rather than older, considering you can beat most Sonic the Hedgehog games in under 30 minutes.

It's been a long time since I've truly played a long game. I haven't played an RPG that's lasted as long as FFVII, FFVIII, and FFIX lasted, each over 80 hours for me. (I like maxing out my characters, bla bla ...)

I guess I'd have over 100 hours worth of gameplay for Deus Ex since I've beaten it 5 times and have started up on my 6th run through the game.

Red Faction II .... shitiest game ever, luckily I beat it in about 4 hours or so.

Longest first run game to beat for me was Xenosaga Ep. I. Took me months to finally pass it. I just hope that the second installment won't take me as long.

Then there's Star Ocean, which pissed me off and I haven't passed it yet.

Not sure on longest and shortest ive played, but the most hours ive spent have been on F-Zero X and F-Zero MV. F-Zero X ive spent maybe 3000 hours on, F-Zero MV ive spent maybe 800 hours on. I usually only play MV for time trials though- less than an hour ago I set my very first world record on it, so the gametime is definately worth it. It was a 17"44 1-lap on Bishop Circuit 1, in case you're interested.

Shortest: SMB3 for the NES. I can beat it on average in about 15min. The quickest I have ever beaten it was around 10min tho...(but not many believe me )

Longest: Well, the longest I have ever spent on a game is a bit over 180+ hours, and that game was FFX-2. Beat the game 3 times I think, with max everything each time (except for mascot DS)

Another tie for shortest would be the THUG 1 and 2 games. Maby around 1-1.5 hours for THUG1 and maby 3 hours for 2. They are pretty short.

Easiest: Some flash game on the internet, don't remember what it's called... It freezes when it loads levels so you have to right click and hit play to continue, which also skips to the next level.

Hardest: Super Ghouls and Ghosts. Here's a tip, Arthur: Get professional armor, not crap you find on dank chests that falls apart when touched...
