need an offline game

I always get bored during computer class and the teacher barely checks on us so most of us do nothing. I'm looking for an offline game under these category:
-less than 500mb when installed (to fit on my USB)
-free or trial (no timed limit)
-fun and decent graphics
-able to hide/close/window mode fast to avoid getting caught

condition zero - deleted scenes: its basicly counterstrike offline with a story. 427 megs
half life: no explanation needed. 393 megs
those are just a couple off the top of my head. both need steam to play, i think... both great games under 500megs

Empire Earth imo is one of the best, but it's by far the hardest.
DOW, Dawn of war, I'm not sure of it's file size though. You can always compress it in a zip file though.

I agree with tetris.
Tetris world: 5 different game styles, a few different modes with all the classic tetris fun. I spend so many hours playing it.
Or lan halo on your school network. When i was at tafe during the lunch break + free time we earned we would lan halo between about 10 people. Who knew accounting could be so fun.

we did the same with cs 1.6
we just had this cracked lan-only version of it, installed it on all
the pc's, put up a network, and we were good to go.

Has nothing to do with what the guy asked for.
Uhmm, try a few of the Trackmania's. Usually around 300 megs and offline can be as addictive as via lan / web.

Oblivion never lived up to expectations. Also its above 500 meg >.>
I would suggest Baldurs gate, but its sadly above 500 meg. One of the best 90's rpgs there is.

I approve of all this man says.
WWP is awesome, Stronghold, Empire Earth, never played Nemessis Roman Empire, but surely it's good if he's advising it. That program is good too, 100% transparent usually works better than minimizing, because minimizing takes time, but transparent happens almost immediately.

age of mythology bro, this game fits everything you want.
It came out in 2002 and is one of the first games to have full 3D. the graphics are decent and since the game is old, your computer should run it fine with high graphics and resolution
ill help you mount it on your computer if you dont have the cd

Rise of Nations and its expansion.
Might not be small enough but in that case get Red Alert 2 or something.
