Oh yeah, handheld consoles in class were awesome. The GBA SP was made for use in schools. Mr. Hannon (see first post) once caught me playing in history but eased off on the punishment when he realised it was Advance Wars. The animated warfare to history class link was tangible enough for him to keep me back after class - not to punish or scold me, but to ask me whether it was a good game for him to buy for his niece. xD
