We had IBM 5150 computers in junior high but then I moved to a rural high school, which didn't have any computers at all (unless you count the word processors). But then I got to college and there were computers EVERYWHERE!
Most of my time was spent in the library VAX lab (run on a VAX 8800 using VMS). After the lab monitor went home at 10pm, it turned into a gamers lab, with most of us playing various MuDDs. We had a huge advantage over most of the other players because we could coordinate our attacks with voice and were running on a blazing T3 connection!
I also loved playing Civilization in the Mac lab, but the lab monitors there kept deleting it so I had to carry a copy with my saved game on a floppy.
Then in 1991 Steve Jobs donated a whole lab of NeXTstations, which was cool because as long as the lab was less than half full, the monitor would look the other way while we ran LAN Doom!
