I'm looking for a good game I can play at lunch time on my lap top at work that I can play straight from a CD or jump drive so I don't have to actually install it on my hard drive - any ideas?

Hmmmm. This is a very interesting question that I'm interested in hearing the answer to as well.

Edit: You need a internet connection though.

Well I don't normally look for this kind of thing, but I discoverd Soccer Cards doesn't require this. Simply unzip the game and double click on the exe to play. Here is the link:

what kind of games do you like, and how big is your zip drive, are you using one of those usb jump drives (256 mb)?

funny you mention soccer cards, I was gonna say the same thing. It's really addictive and quite fun too :)

I can't remember the size of the jump drive. I could burn whatever the game is to a CD too. I'd really like a text sport sim but all of them that I know of require the license key to be saved on the computers hard drive. Or any other good strategy game.

I say Tetris. Though I am sort of a junkie with that game. Can't get enough.

Not a bad idea. I may try some game over at abandonia.com too

Any of the angband/rogue/nethack variants.

I guess I should add that it also can't be a game you play via the internet

Anyone have a link to a simple old-school Tetris?
