My first time playing Final Fantasy VI (III in the US), I started playing it at 5 in the afternoon, just kept playing it, got to a stopping point, and realized that it was 7 in the morning. I was 16.
Vaguely, I remember spending the next day hearing the music roaring from the heavens interspersed with my mother yelling at me for sitting up all night playing video games. Thankfully, it was a school holiday and we lived out in the country, so I didn't need to account to anybody other than my parents for my admittedly bizarre behavior the next day until I finally slept it off, and my parents were rather resigned to the situation by that point.
