Longest it has taken you to beat a game
Final Fantasy 6 I started when I was in sixth grade. I got to the floating continent and got really frustrated because I could never find out where to go and I kept dying and probably couldn't beat some boss. When I started playing again probably two or three years later I beat the floating continent in like 30 minutes. And I think it took me about a year to beat the final boss. Not sure about that, but I know I beat it right before I went into tenth grade.
Star Ocean Till the End of Time I started right before my freshman year of high school and I got pissed at some level and stopped playing. I realized I still had the game like three years later and the same thing happened where I beat that level as soon as I started playing it again, dunno what was hard about it at all. Then I forced myself to beat the rest of the game just cause I was really far and I suffered through that stupid piece of shit for a few months and finally beat it right before senior year. So it took me three years. |

For me, I think it was Dragon Ball Z - Dragon Ball Z: Kyoushuu Saiyajin(Assault of the Saiya-jin) which took me close to about 5 months total to beat.

San Andreas - 4 months
I could not get past the second Zero mission, so I just went and blew things up for awhile while occasionally attempting the mission. |

Non-continuously? probably Super Mario World.
I got that when I was like 5-6 and didn't beat it until I was like 13-14. Continuously..probably Command and Conquer Red Alert. |

Took me quite awhile to beat GTA3 (always struggled with that fucking Coffee mission where you gotta go to all 3 islands in like 15 minutes)
But when I did beat the game, it was epic cause I first played GTA 3 at a friend's house and he had already unlocked the second island. Yet I still somehow beat the game before him. ![]() |

Vagrant Story probably took me around seven months to complete because I was really bad at the chain attack system at first. Got like halfway through and then quit. Picked it up again over a summer break and ended up figuring it out but had no idea what was going on. The time I spent on Vagrant Story was not in vain as it prepared me for Playstation 2 launch game The Summoner.

I "beat" Super Mario 64 back in middle school, and then didn't really play it again. Then last year I finished up the last of the 120 stars.
When did I beat it? |

It depends on what your goal was when you started
Which reminds me I need to get the last 18 stars in Super Mario Galaxy |

Goldeneye- I got stuck on Bunker II and would get pretty pissed everytime I died. I stoped playing for a while. Then probably over a year later I picked it up randomly one night, and beat Bunker II on my first try. That really infuriated me. So I ended up beating the rest of the game in less then a month. The whole ordeal took me about 2 years though.
Same thing happened with Mario 64 as well. |

I had Bart Simpson: Alien Invasion or whatever it was called for the Sega Master System, before I sold all of that years ago, I'd had it for about ten years. I could never get passed the first level.

Continuous - Oblivion - I had a file with like 140 hours played over 5 months when I finally "beat" the main quest, then sunk like another 50 in on DLC. I think I went to every place and did every quest.
Non- Continuous - Ocarina of Time - Rented that shit when it first came out and never really got past the spot where you go to the desert. Finally beat it on an emulator in 2007. |
