What was the first game you broke curfew to play?

[RageBurner]

The first one I can remember was Odin Sphere on the PS2.

I specifically remember booting it up at like... 4 AM because I literally could not sleep. Then despite the fact I had the volume off, my mom somehow knew and came in my room being like "you know that's not going to help you fall asleep". (I will admit, I had a lot of trouble falling asleep as a kid)

You certainly sacrificed your sleep for a worthy game that time.

Oh, definitely. Odin Sphere is still one of my favorite games to this day!

 

[zvnmm45]

Halo 2 for sure

probably Runescape in 2002, I was in 5th grade and would sometimes sneak onto the family computer in the wee hours of the morning hours before school to play it

Curfew means a restriction, and in my case I really didn't have a sleeptime restriction but I was solely responsible for waking up on time.

The first game I spent all night playing was Chrono Trigger for the SNES. I usually share playing time on the console with my brothers and it was the first time they weren't around so I played without noticing the time.

But if you meant curfew as "being home at a certain point of time" then yes I had broken curfew for a game before. It was Final Fantasy Tactics; we didn't own a PSX at the time (only SNES) and I detoured to the console rental shops at the local mall and played for an hour or so before going home at night. And I had a valid reason for it as my commute route was basically congested during rush hour...

Not when I was a kid, but in my mid 20's got really into Socom 1 online for PSP, was gaming all the way until 2am and had to be at work at 8am - that original PSP was really something else

PSO on Dreamcast

Played into midnight on a school night. Worth it.

Castlevania II: Simon's Quest

 

[AgentBlasko]

Probably Burnout 3 but I think my first experience of this kind was when my childhood friend and I stayed up late to play Soul Calibur 3, Tekken 5, and Tony Hawk American Wasteland on the PS2. Good times man.

I broke curfew when I spent the whole night at the mall at the arcade playing Pac-Man from the 80s. The manager of the arcade had kicked me out when I was so close to getting a high score of 345,000.

I was sick a lot as a kid, so I snuck onto little big planet a few times when I was home alone.

Yea my parents wanted me home/in bed by around 9:30-10pm at the latest. Rarely ever followed it between sneaking out, sneaking downstairs or just playing my PSP in bed, but they tried!

GTA San Andreas, I was recently allowed to have TV in my own room around that time. I had to turn the volume down to 0 everytime I wanna play past 9, my mum used to check on me randomly and I gotten used to tune in to the sound of her footstep overtime, I had a protocol ready in case she was around, never get caught at all.

 

[Kid Dynamite]

I remember it exactly. FF1

 

[King Koopa's iconKing Koopa]

I stayed for three days straight playing Ocarina of Time so probably that.

Kingdom Hearts 2 absorbed my life at one point I broke curfew and didn't do my homework.
