Remember to CYA (cover your arse) in case any parent gets upset - I'd clear it first. Do you have a room of machines all with bootable CDROM drives? Isn't MS Hearts a network game? From my experience I think a lot of girls would be more interested in Barbie or chatting etc than America's Army and all that. Last term there was a surge in Java-powered pacman (pacmen?) games being played.
