It would have to be DQVIII for me, I bought it when it first came out(was it the beginning of this year?) and i didn't finish it till this September.
Other then that I'm usually able to finish most games I get.

Zelda: Wind Waker. I kept stopping and starting. I finally finished the blasted thing in 2005 - nearly two years after I bought it.

I got it when it came out, but I have yet to complete it. So when I do? That one.
Final Fantasy Six. A few years.
Everytime I got close to the end, something messed up. The SNES was a bit Shotty at the time, so if a cord was jerked at all while playing my cartrige was wiped. I have no Idea how it got wiped so many times, but meh. I eventually beat it.
Alot of the Gradius games Ive beaten recently and failed miserably at years ago, and some Ninja Gaiden games, I beat the original last year, when I bought the catridge a decade ago. I guess thats the longest amount of time its taken for me to beat a game.
I still haven't beaten Super Mario on the NES.
The Secret of Monkey Island
Began: sometime in 94
Completed: Last month
It wasn't that good after all
there was a picture here
PN03 (final diffuculty in the 1-hit death suit).
I dont want to get top scores in each place (as in. not dodging everything to complete the level. dodging and Killing everything = yes).
<3 took me about 457 hours of playtime.
My New Year's Resolution is to finish FFX. I've had it since 2002 and have not finished it.
If I don't finish a game on a play-through, but then feel like coming back to it a long time later, I usually end up restarting it. And there are many games I've played and "died" (often numerous times) or just gave up that I never won.
As for games that I've started, and stopped in the middle, but still had saves that I went back to to advance the story to the very end:
StarCraft took me about 5 years from start to finish--not because I don't love the game, but because there's only so much RTS I can stand in a day or a week.
LoZ: Windwaker took me 2 years...I obsess over getting every item in those games and I got tired of all the boring sailing to find them all.
Command & Conquer Generals around 3 years. There's a level in the Chinese Campaign that I just didn't have the right mind to develop a strategy to beat...it's the one where your nuke cannons are ambushed by mobile bio-scuds in the opening cutscene. I couldn't for the life of me figure out a way to stop the GLA from eventually over-running my base before I could vaporize their's. After someone told me the solution, I finished that Campaign and the American Campaign rather easily, but then got stuck on a level of the GLA Campaign that took me about eight months of playing off and on to figure out.
Pokemon Red/Blue/Yellow/Gold/Silver/Crystal around 5 years. Again, an obsession regarding collecting, in this case high-quality versions of every Pokemon in the game ('cept for Mew). And because of the brilliance of Nintendo, they got me to play the same two games three times each, which in part accounts for the time it took me.
I've dumped so many hours into this game that it's not funny (we're talking eight hours a day for a few months when I first got it), but I've yet to play through the campaigns. Maybe I should do that sometime. XD
Morrowind was one that I spent far too much time on myself. I believe I spent a year and a half, just simply playing the damned game, logging upwards of 2000 hours by the time I finally finished it.
There's just so much stuff to do...
...
=O
It's gonna be a sad New Year's, Jowy
It's easier just to type in "there is no cow level" and watch all the character cutscenes. The computer isn't really all that hard.I've dumped so many hours into this game that it's not funny (we're talking eight hours a day for a few months when I first got it), but I've yet to play through the campaigns.

Now that I think about it, I still haven't beaten Star Ocean 3, either.
