You're welcome to post Sunday times here, or save them for the new thread. 
Either way, any times itemized for Sunday will be added to next year's totals. In effect, the first week of 2012 will be an eight-day week (Jan. 1 - Jan. 8, 2012), since that seems simplest.

OK, then... here are my times for this shortened week (Monday through Saturday):
Arcade:
Q*Bert's Qubes - 225 min. in 6 sessions
Reactor - 180 min. in 2 sessions
PC:
Need For Speed Porsche - 85 min. in 2 sessions
I continued to play Q*Bert's Qubes... nothing more to say here. Then I tried "Reactor" after having played the 2600 version as part of the HSC over three years ago. This is a pretty hard game! One game seldom lasts more than three minutes, sometimes only about 90 seconds. The game also has some pinball elements - the rods where you have to hit all of them, and there's text next to them saying you should hit them... and the bonus counter at the end of each life. The sounds also are pinball-like, but you could hear similar sounds already in "Joust" and "Q*Bert".
As for Need For Speed Porsche... this is (obviously) a racing game which came out in 2000, thus it's designed for Windows 95/98/ME. But it still runs fine on XP.

Man, SW:RA gets unpleasant on Hard. No lock-on indicator, and no indication of which way you need to turn to avoid the asteroids. Bad news.

Note that we don't have complete stats for 2009, so there's a chance that certain times may be inaccurate for pre-NES systems -- Astrosmash looks especially suspicious. (See more on that in my next post.)

Finally, here are the top 25 games by all-time gameplay, encompassing our stats from 2008 to the present day.
NOTE: Take these with a small grain of salt since, as I said in my previous post, we're missing some stats for 2009. Specifically, I've got the top 10 games of 2009 recorded, but nothing else. Since we didn't start tracking more recent consoles until 2010, this should mainly/exclusively affect certain pre-NES titles.
Anyway, here we have the 25 games that have seen more love than any others -- the ones that have had long, dedicated hours put into them, whether by a single individual or by an inspired multitude.
And this marks our first official entry into an exceedingly exclusive echelon: the never-before-seen 50000-minute club! No surprise which game breaks through that barrier, and massive kudos to Atarian7 for his dedication and skill in pursuit of bomb-catching perfection. Will we someday see the 100000-minute mark surpassed?
Top 25 games by gameplay time, all-time:
1. Kaboom (Atari 2600) - 50538
2. Galaxian (Atari 2600) - 11314
3. Berzerk (Atari 2600) - 3860
4. Worms World Party (Dreamcast) - 3839
5. Pokemon Red Version (Game Boy) - 3712
6. Final Fantasy (NES/Famicom) - 3675
7. Park Patrol (C64) - 3551
8. Adventure (Atari 2600) - 3350
9. Suikoden II (PlayStation) - 2938
10. Wizardry II: Knight of Diamonds (NES/Famicom) - 2660
11. Galaga (Arcade) - 2426
12. Worms (Atari Jaguar) - 2400
13. Hang-On (Sega Master System) - 2363
14. Shining in the Darkness (Genesis) - 2324
15. Pitfall (Atari 2600) - 2318
16. Gauntlet Legends (N64) - 2060

NOTE: Take these with a small grain of salt since, as I said in my previous post, we're missing some stats for 2009. Specifically, I've got the top 10 games of 2009 recorded, but nothing else. Since we didn't start tracking more recent consoles until 2010, this should mainly/exclusively affect certain pre-NES titles.
Anyway, here we have the 25 games that have seen more love than any others -- the ones that have had long, dedicated hours put into them, whether by a single individual or by an inspired multitude.
And this marks our first official entry into an exceedingly exclusive echelon: the never-before-seen 50000-minute club! No surprise which game breaks through that barrier, and massive kudos to Atarian7 for his dedication and skill in pursuit of bomb-catching perfection. Will we someday see the 100000-minute mark surpassed?
Top 25 games by gameplay time, all-time:
1. Kaboom (Atari 2600) - 50538
2. Galaxian (Atari 2600) - 11314
3. Berzerk (Atari 2600) - 3860
4. Worms World Party (Dreamcast) - 3839
5. Pokemon Red Version (Game Boy) - 3712
6. Final Fantasy (NES/Famicom) - 3675
7. Park Patrol (C64) - 3551
8. Adventure (Atari 2600) - 3350
9. Suikoden II (PlayStation) - 2938
10. Wizardry II: Knight of Diamonds (NES/Famicom) - 2660
11. Galaga (Arcade) - 2426
12. Worms (Atari Jaguar) - 2400
13. Hang-On (Sega Master System) - 2363
14. Shining in the Darkness (Genesis) - 2324
15. Pitfall (Atari 2600) - 2318
16. Gauntlet Legends (N64) - 2060
17. Centipede (TI-99) - 2003
18. Q*Bert's Qubes (Arcade) - 1967
19. Dragon Warrior (NES/Famicom) - 1964
20. SteamRoller (ColecoVision) - 1961

BTW, here's the current roster of the 1000-minute club. Once again, these times don't include anything for 2009 except the top 10, so there may be games (especially pre-NES games) that deserve to be here, but aren't.

Well, this tells me that I've probably been playing Q*Bert's Qubes for far too long now... and, from a moral standpoint, there are games in there which I've played so long I should have purchased them since the time I spent playing them can't be justified as "trying if I like them" anymore... those were: Q*Bert's Qubes (Arcade) (which, of course, was only available as an arcade game... the moral standpoint doesn't spread onto other versions of the game), Wizball (C-64) (where I have the problem that my trusty Amiga 1081 monitor looses color when operated on the C-64 and always has done this), Time Pilot (Arcade), Indiana Jones and the Temple of Doom (Arcade), Diner (Intellivision) (I don't have an Intellivision!), Cavelon (Arcade) and Flash-Point (Philips G-7400, which I also don't have). The previous years add: Park Patol (C-64), Centipede (TI-99) (I think I even own this, but it's broken), SteamRoller (Colecovision, which I also don't have), Mouse Trap (Colecovision), Shamus (Atari 8-bit, which I don't have) and Toyshop Trouble (Atari 2600). These are the games I played that exceed either 6 hours of play time for 2011 or 1000 minutes for all years combined, which probably have been mainly accumulated by myself. Sorry about spoiling something for you by posting this...

Thanks to all for the kind words and appreciation!
Not at all, Kurt. I've sometimes wondered myself about the ethics of putting many hours into a game I don't own -- though as it happens, this year most of my big times were posted on real software (and just about all of them on real hardware).
Toyshop Trouble is certainly worth buying the real thing, and you can theoretically get all the first-party Intellivision ROMs legally from Intellivision Productions (though they've been sitting on my order for almost a year with no reply). Otherwise, since the publishers and programmers are mostly long-gone or unrecognizable now, you could always donate money or time to a worthy organization. I did something like that in the past, once, when I felt I had an unpaid debt and no good way to repay it.
Either way, I think it's mostly "Wasser unter der Brücke." I've gotten enough enjoyment out of your posts that I'll happily vouch for you in the great karmic wheel!

Well, what I actually meant is that I'm offending some of the people here because not owning the system implies that the game has been played on an emulator... which, in fact, holds true for most of my gaming nowadays, except for PC games of course... other exceptions would be Game & Watch and some (but not all) TI-99 games, as well as "Gremlins" on the C-64 which I played on the real thing because the downloaded ROM seemed to lack some of the game elements I was used to.

What I'm actually trying to do is to repay it in a different way... by doing things for other people when asked for. For instance, at the moment I'm creating a Karaoke backing track for a fellow Karaoke singer, and I'm pretty sure I won't be asking for as much money as it would normally be worth if I multiply the hours put into it with the salary I get at work... instead I'm trying to deliver a really good job (like some of the 2600 homebrew authors on here do, regardless of if they will "get back their investment" or not). Actually, I've set aside a budget for that purpose called the "good at heart account", which gets filled with $10 for each hour I'm spending playing games I don't own which are (at least theoretically) copyrighted and are/were for sale commercially. This account then gets used for paying up the difference to what I should normally earn on jobs like Karaoke backing tracks and such. Actually, it's even a bit more complicated, but you get the idea.

But of course you're right... those games had their lifecycle which is basically over, and in fact has been over for most of them already with the "crash" where their manufacturing company went out of business, or at least out of the gaming business. And the games have been produced no matter what, so it doesn't make much of a difference if I play them or not. Which is how I actually think of any software or also music that is already "out there" and readily available. Putting things out for sale in a professional way is actually like first investing in creating the product and then putting it out, saying "Let's see how many we can sell and if our investments come back or not". Of course they will always go against the freeloaders to set an example, but in the end, there's a sum of money earned by selling the product, and one sale more or less will not make much of a difference. As I said, I'm trying to pay it back in a different way. Also, because I "tortured" shops by trying out games (letting the clerks show them to me) when I was young, I promised myself that I will never ask for an individual rebate in a shop. And also that if I've looked at some product in a shop and talked about it with a clerk, if I buy it, I will always buy it at that shop and not shop around if I can get it cheaper somewhere else.
