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 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….
