@askold: Your school had Sierra adventure games? AWESOME.
Well... It's not that the school had the games, more like some of the older students had those games and copied them to the school computers. The teachers didn't seem to mind much. At least the adventure games forced us to use english language so it was kinda educational. Our headmaster actually asked if we could get some text-adventure games.
I can't see something like that happening these days.
Fun fact: one of those games was Leisure suit Larry. I don't think any school would buy
that game for 7 year old kids. (Then again we didn't really get far in that game. Mostly just run over by the cars or beaten by that guy in the alley. King's quest was much more fun.)
