The first is the summary screen that is shown after beating the game. This one shows you the amount of time you took, accurate to milliseconds, regardless of how many hours of play were involved (because I'm pretty sure you won't manage to play it for over 29,000 years). The second place is the verify code screen that shows you the details from the verify code that was entered. It shows you the amount of time you took, also accurate to milliseconds, up to roughly 298 hours. Since the game is expected to take a typical user somewhere in the range of 2 to 10 hours to complete, the 298 hour limit shouldn't really come up. If a playthrough of the game somehow takes over the max duration that can be represented in a verify code, the verify code summary will simply show the time as dashes to indicate the game was completed in a time that was too long to track.
