Yeah mine was Soldier of Fortune II, one of the nerds that was year above us (class of 06) modded it so it looked like the process ran as a word document. IT administrators couldn't tell if people were playing games in class. Also remember him adding a ton of other weapons, super blood mods and a heap of other shit. Lad now works at Google now as an alpha tester, so destined to go on to great things.
Halo 1 was ubiquitous at school - practically everyone at school from 2011-now has played it at least once.
Off the top of my head other games that were distributed included GTA Vice City, NFS Most Wanted (2005), Rugby 08, Cricket 07, Saints Row (3rd I believe?) and Powder Toy.
We also played Happy Wheels, Tetris & Geoguessr online from memory
EDIT: Who could forget COD?!

We also had the IT 'help' sessions in the computer labs during lunch where all everyone did was play Minecraft on a LAN server

I'd be disappointed if high school students aren't playing counter strike 1.6 and Halo 1 in ten years time. School computers should never be powerful enough to handle anything more graphically demanding.

Damn, we weren't that high tech/nerdy. Most of the extent of the games being passed around were just flash files. Tetris was a huge time killer, and there was some other one where you started out as a small fish and had to grow by eating other fish around you. The only console style game we had (someone Wineskinned it for the Mac) was the original MX vs ATV. I remember we spent many a free period or Media class trying to land double backflips on the Goblin Gulch track.
The early-mid 2000's were really the last great era of gaming personally

We had Halo 1 and Age of Mythology on a 'student drive' that anyone could access on any computer in the school, but the real holy grail was when one of my mates brought in his wii and there was a Mario Kart tournament before class on the TV in the corridor.

Have you ever played The Last of Us or any of the Uncharted games? (I still haven't played the last one yet, which I hate, but the first three are pretty good)

Ours were Quake, one of the early CODs and Soldier of Fortune. Our vice principal looked a little like a poor mans Turnbull, and was convinced that us playing each other on the network would destroy the entire school network and bring fire and brimstone.
I did RE at primary school for a bit of a laugh, but even then I always thought it was a missed opportunity. Basically all we did was hear stories from the new testament and sing songs about Jesus, which is pretty ****ed indoctrination for a public school in a secular country. If they taught kids in primary school about different religions, different cultures, why people hold different beliefs and values, maybe there'd be a little less hatred and a little less fear in the world
Yeah I was more going for a cheap gag. I take it you went to some sort of christian/catholic college? That's pretty rough that you had to take it in your final year, especially when English is already mandatory.

Speaking of old school video games, the Olympics makes me want to pull out my old Xbox and play Amped 2

I was one of like 3 kids in primary school who sat out RE and just sat about colouring in shit and drawing. My parents weren't particularly anti religious so I have no idea why I didn't have to do it. Shit was boring as hell though glad I didn't have to learn about that God shit.
The Jewish kids had their own separate RE too iirc.

Yeah went to a private catholic school. Don't remember (apart from grade 7) doing prayers in any class bar 1 or 2 (funnily enough, we didn't do prayers before my REE class in grade 11 & 12 from memory.Ours were Quake, one of the early CODs and Soldier of Fortune.

Also random memory considering the whole LGBTI+ discussion yesterday. My Indonesian teacher (who was pretty religious) said to my class in grade 8 that she was against LGBTI+ people. I remember finding that incomprehensible and making no sense.

They had to do it during lunch at our school and they would announce it over the loudspeaker, meaning that all the other kids could make fun of the Jewish kids that had to miss out on foursquare. (I'm just guessing about that last bit, but I feel like it would happen because kids, and especially kids from this area, are dicks.)

Did you have the workbooks where you could rub the pictures out with an eraser? Every kid in our class had to have their book checked at the end of RE, but not to make sure they were actually doing work, but just to check that they didn't edit any of the images in there to include the devil or big penises which are very funny when you are 10 years old.

drawing dicks on your mates text books and chatting shit for 30+ hours a week is insanely good areas. i dont think life gets better after high school.

Our school ended up giving us (Year 11s at the time) laptops as a trial with very few restrictions. One of the kids found the teacher's proxy and everyone ended up using that throughout the year. Everyone used to play that Tetris battle app on Facebook with each other throughout class. Absolutely zero work would've been done that year.
Come Year 12 they ended up recalling the laptops and requiring them to have heavy restrictions. Glad our year was the ones to ruin it all for future generations.
Man, highschool was a lot easier and simpler time.
