What's the longest you've marathoned a single 'credit'?

On one credit would have to be Crazy Taxi, with B.D.Joe, 45ish minutes on Arcade mode, score 43k. That's just 1 game of 60 second default settings by the way.

I used to 1CC Soul Calibur in the arcade every time I would go to the movie theater. It wouldn't take long I suppose, but I would get through the entirety of arcade mode pretty quick.

I used to do the same thing. 1 credit with Weapon Master and I beat it every time. I used to play Virtual-On for quite awhile when there were real opponents around. In arcade mode I usually wound up dying on either stage 3 or 5 iirc.

I finished Metal Slug X using only one credit, and then proceeded to retake Antarctica from the Martians, mere moments before jumping into hyperspace to intercept the Valaxian invading armada, and finally made it back home barely in time for the semi-final soccer match. A good day's work with the stellarly rewarding rate of $15/hour.

Individually - Ms Pacman - about 3 hours
As a team - Galaga - 14 hours - A buddy in college started playing in the morning, I took over when he went to class, he came back and I went to class, and we played until the arcade closed.
