Nothing from any one of my schools I went to (Grade-High) ever got banned. I mean, you couldn't bust out a walkman or play a gameboy. That's about it.
On a side note: I remember pogs.

Quake 3: Arena got taken off the network at college.that was a sad day.
Yo-yos
Pokimon cards (sp)
Bayblades
Game boys
MP3s (not a game but still)
Mobile phones (There are games on mobile phones)
I just rememberd this. The security at my college wouldn't let a group of people I know play Magic because they banned the use of regular cards. Now, I don't play card games, but I thought that was stupid.
Bulldog got banned after in one week or group suffered from one broken hand, two broke fingers, a broken collarbone and a case of amnesia. Also yo-yos after everyone was doing around the world and loads of people got brained iwth them.And wht the smurf is a pog?

The 'slaps' game. Where you, basically, slap each others hands for fun. There's some rules to it, but I can't be bothered to explain them.
The best thing about this was that it was actually me who introduced it to the school, after being taught it by my uncle. Of course, I didn't get into trouble or anything, because by the time the teachers found out, it was 14th hand news anyway.
EDIT:
iPods have games on them, though, don't they?Originally Posted by crop
Pokemon cards:- Kids were stealing them off each other and beating one another up for rare, shiny Charizards and Gyradoses and stuff.
Shag bands:- Banned because people were going round snapping them off people they fancied, then harrassing them about it afterwards, saying that they were owed a date/sex, etc. -_-; Sad people...
my middle school banned Yu-Gi-Oh cards because they thought the kids were going to sue the school if we lost some cards. Those dumbasses.
Anyways, in my high school we have no bans against any games because we have no games to play. Oh, wait. No, they did ban one game. It was called "Touch the Boobie!" xD :P
They banned card games at my hs as well , since the popular game of the time was Bull Sh*t.....and of course pagers were the thing and they were banned... nobody had cell phones at the time like they do now....
THe only thing i know of htats banned is beyblades in my school. They lets us play cards, though the only one time we ever play cards is in science.
It looks like the ground had a sex change.
Just about everything was banned from school in the time period of kids born in the 1990's. You guys missed out on the 1980's where we would bring everything to school from skip-it to TMNT to giant robot toys. Now it's all 'wah wah I'm too passive to do anything about it when a kid wants something I own' and 'omg nobody taught me how to gamble I want back what I lose but when I win I don't wanna give it back'.
And yes, I am linking banned games from school with the decline in self esteem and general common sense :D
