Here it is: Solitude
http://www.geocities.com/dbergis/freeware.htm (second entry)
Absolutely no install (except unzipping it), you can even run the games
by themselves; the menu is just an additional interface.
I still play them every now and then.

inexperienced users to put the files onto their machines. You'll find
alot of freeware games fall into that catagory, install them to your USB
drive and you'll find they will run on another machine from your drive
without the need to install them on that machine. It's just a case of
trying games and seeing which ones will work.
All of my games fall into that catagory, so there's some for you
anyway... www.mikearcher.org.uk

And note that some of these installers are actually just self-extracting
RARs. If you own WinRAR, you can right-click on the executable; if you see
"Open in WinRAR," then that's the case. It's a pleasant surprise.

I really like Laser Tank. It's a puzzle game, sort of a capture-the-
flag, sokoban, reflections mashup.

The older 16-bit 1-3.x versions are no-install and have "only" 770
levels, instead of thousands. The download links for the 3.1 version on
the site are broken, I've located another source:
ftp://ftp.freeware.ru/win/mycomputer/games/ltank31.zip (270K)
The newer 4.x versions use an installer. But, if you install it on your
HD, you can copy the files lasertank.exe, lasertank.hlp, and
lasertank.lvl to your USB drive and it'll work (it uses a local ini file
to save state).
Naoki Ito's old-school 8-bit-style games are a lot of fun:

I especially recommend Dlgate, Isitar5, LodeX, and Ball2.
