When I was a kid I would definitely play RPGs, Sonic, etc. for 8-12 hours a day and forget to eat, sleep, etc. Didn't even need to use the bathroom.
But I found that that sort of delirium happens more with online games. Diablo 1 and 2. FreeSpace 2. MechWarrior. Etc. Games I used to play online on PC all day back before I had many responsibilities and work every day.
I don't play online as much as I used to and definitely prefer local multiplayer when possible. Nothing quite like playing w/ friends in the same room. Which is what I am planning to do w/ Diablo 3 on PS3. And what me and some friends have done w/ Monster Hunter 3 Ultimate this year. There are certainly times when we've played for 6, 8, 10 hours straight without thinking about food or much of anything else.
