Can anyone please recommend a computer game for student "Games Club"

You're thinking of ToTD: Overkill which is the typing version of House of The Dead: Overkill, the game which currently holds the record for the most profanity. There's another, older version called simply "Typing Of The Dead" which is based on the House of The Dead 2 game. It's actually been edited to make it tamer compared to the arcade game iirc, the zombies have green blood and I think they've toned down some of the dialogue too. It's also freeware, which makes it doublegood for schools.

 

ToTD: Overkill is absolutely fantastic, just not appropriate for schools.

Oh. Yes. That'll be the one I'm thinking of then

I've been running a games club at my school, we've had success with trackmania nations, which looks very good even on basic hardware!

 

The kids also loved pong for some reason!

Get Sid Mier's Alpha Centauri (planetary pack) from GOG for £3.60ish and set up a LAN party. You can have up to seven players at once and it'll teach all the bright-eyed lovelies that the future is going to be a dark and miserable place

 

Educational AND fun!

And that's why I play WH:40K

That's why I used to play. Plus who doesn't love the idea of Space Vikings?

 

Did quite well at a few Grand Tournaments in the Naughties, havent played in a few years now tho...

we used this to placate our obsessive gamerz when we effectively 'banned fun' by installing the PaloAlto at my last place.

Not free but it is cheap now, Europa Universalis 3. Console mode can't be accessed in multiplayer, supports some good mods, strategy game. I've done a multiplayer game which lasted over 300 hours (almost 1 year in all).
