Handheld consoles sound like a pretty cool concept in schools I guess? I’m just now realising it’s never been much of a thing where I live, but I’m sure it has been, or still is, for a lot of you.
What kind of games do you play, or remember playing, when killing time during breaks? Tetris? Pokémon? Xenoblade? Or some multilayer game? Do other people participate?
And also, what handheld is the best model for this purpose I wonder? Sounds to me like the original GB just might be the best choice due to how bulletproof it is. Or maybe 2DS from the more modern era.

My shit would’ve been confiscated so fast if I brought my Gameboy to school, holy shit. And then I’d be grounded from it for the next year lol. Blew my mind when I heard phones are like totally allowed in schools nowadays. Even if I did have a gameboy with me though idk when I would’ve had time to play it. I guess during lunch but again that’s when teachers were on the prowl. I do remember I had summer school one year and Mr. P did not give a FUCK lol. So I played Mario kart ds download play all summer with some of the kids and got an A lol. Good times.
Were you in some boarding school for monks or something?
Haha, you think? Nah I mean it was just a public school, pretty normal overall. I got the vibe it was pretty similar to other schools from what my friends told me. Things just seem a lot different now.
I once took my GBA SP to the school and did some matches of DBZ Supersonic Warriors and my teacher found out and he took it out, mom got to go for it to claim it and she didn’t allow me to play with it for like a month lol
So no, I do not have good experiences taking my handhelds to the school, I have taken several times later my handhelds to the school but I generally don’t like to be asked what I’m playing, or worse people touching my stuff haha.
The best memories I could think of were playing GTA Liberty City Stories and Burnout Legends of PSP with some mates, but those were just some few occasions.
Also I managed to do some matches of Metroid Prime Hunters, but I was the one to bring all the hardware needed 😂
My school’s faculty didn’t give a damn if we played games during breaks, just not during class.
I played anything and everything - Final Fantasy, Zelda 2, Jam Sessions, Animal Crossing, Metroid Prime Hunters, hell when I learned about PSP softmodding most of my research on it was done at school during lunch or spares. Teachers never looked at me twice.
That said, they did start raising eyebrows when I used a live CD of Linux to bypass all of their content filters….
