Gonna cut to the chase - any recommendations for games that can run on low quality systems? I mean VERY low quality, I'm playing on school systems. Any good downloadable games that can be played on a LAN?
Unless your shcool's IT department is exceptionally incompetent, you won't just be able to download and install software without administrator access.
Nah, all I need to do is export it onto a flash drive and plug it in. We generally play Quake on the computers, anyway but it gets boring after playing it for a while.
I remember we had Counter Strike at one point, until the new IT admin came in and tightened up everything.

Opinions are like armpits. Everyone has one and some stink, now if someone says your armpits stink it isn't very polite to go rubbing it in their face, it isn't going to make them say yours doesn't stink it'll just make them dislike you and your armpit even more. Remember keep your armpits and opinions respectful.
Back when I was in a boarding house, the games we found to be fun and playable on low spec computers were Terraria, Soldat, Counter Strike and Urban Terror.
CoD 4 was also played in excessive amounts on a few better spec'd laptops
If you've already played it/know how to play, Dwarf Fortress is good. If you've never played/heard of it, don't bother since the graphics are bad and the controls are difficult to learn.

Did something happen to you in your childhood to give you this unreasonable fear of rutabaga?

That is not how it works.
Chances are USB ports are disabled, and if they are not, running any non-whitelisted executable is disabled.
You simply cannot install games on these machines.
I've worked IT in a school before, trust me.
Even then, client PCs do not have even remotely half-decent GPUs. Even older games will struggle to run. They are only meant for word processing and browsing the internet.
I never studied under a I.T school but if you had a portable hard drive on you, you could just use that instead of a USB flash drive, worked for me but this is not my school and not my I.T admin's (Lets just say they were not very good...)
A USB flash drive is the same as an external HDD in regards to these kinds of restrictions.
School computers would most likely not have the required internet speed.
Some schools have the required internet speed, 99mb/s download and some upload amount I do not remember for my old school. My old school district has it's own network setup, but there are thousands of students using it simultaneously.

How about Diablo 2? Morrowind? Half-Life?
2 or 3 months.A long-ass time.Oh boy, visual basic. I can barely contain my excitement. Not.
Three games I played during school in a competition in my class hosted by the teacher muahahaha.
