All the computers at my highschool had a shared drive anyone could access. Someone put an executable for a Tron-style multiplayer game in that drive and it caused a craze where, at any given time, half the school computers were being used by students to play this Tron game with each other over LAN instead of studying.

I may have been the one who put the executable on the drive to play with my friends. I may have also been banned from using the school computers for the rest of the semester because of it.

Lol. Brings back memories of all-nighters playing Doom in the computer labs. IT used to delete it from all of the desktops and we would just ftp it back again.

I was a computer lab assistant from 10th-12th grade. My senior year I skipped most of my classes to play Doom or Descent with the other computer lab assistants.

We used our schools network for playing Diablo II

Yup, we did the same with CS 1.6

That definitely happened more than once in a couple of the schools I went to. One teacher didn't care and let a bunch of kids play games in the lab during class. I don't think a lot of them did so well on their grades in that class.
