>>57507783playing as a kid took longer though, both because of inexperience and because you weren't focused solely on beating the story. I probably sank at least 40 hours into the games back then, not even counting after the credits roll (could easily get up to 200+ altogether). plus you would often play for short periods of time, like at recess, or for half an hour before bed or whatever.
you just had to be there.
