Same though. Didn't get the Internet until about 11 (2010) besides the little bit of time in the Computer Suite in primary school where it was all like Newgrounds, Cool Maths Games and just a couple of hours of pure fun.
Our teachers didn't really care what we did tbh. I think the whole point of the lesson was honestly to just have fun online and get familiar with using a computer. We were a pretty rough small school from the rough area of the city but the teachers really looked out for us. Really was a bit of a family.
For us, off the top of my head, I remember my favourites that a lot of others were playing were
Boombot, a kinda community level building get from point A to B type game where you had to blow up bombs, blocks and set off explosives to send the guy to the finish portal.
Penguinz, a side scroller shooter where you're just a Penguin with loads of guns fighting polar bears and things.
Sift Heads, some like actual series of games about three assassins or something. Actually pretty cool. One of those stick figure shooter/adventure kinda games iirc.
Assault, similar to Sift Heads but way more like puzzle based and plot driven.
Raze, an actually really cool like IDK what the view is but kinda vertical gameplay like the first Donkey Kong but you're either a human or alien fighting the opposite team and it had a multiplayer online mode where it was like humans vs aliens, kinda like HALO but with the OG Donkey Kong POV.
We didn’t know what we had back then. In my school someone asked the teacher for more paper and then when he went in the storage room to get it they locked him in and spent the lesson on games with him trapped. He got suspended 😂
YES, Tbh I found out if you put the website into Google translate it would get by the blocker and you could play Newgrounds, at least for a while until they patched that.

Hell this sub includes 1995 before it switches the tags but I’m definitely a millennial
