Xmoto is a challenging 2D motocross game that’s lots of fun. It’s available for Windows, Mac and Linux platforms and it’s portable!

You can also download a level editor to try your hand at making your own levels (scroll down to the bottom of their home page to download it). There are also tons of user contributed levels that you can download here.

Here’s a portable game for the weekend for racing fans: G-Speed. It’s spaceship racing fun with plenty of tracks to choose from. Check out all the screenshots on the site!

Spy Hunter is one of my all-time favorite games. For a long time, I’ve been playing Highway Pursuit, which is a 3D remake of Spy Hunter and one of the best clones I’ve ever played. Unfortunately, it has an installation program and makes entries into the registry, so it’s not portable!

Another Spy Hunter clone is Kamikaze Racer. This game is 2D, about 9MB and truly portable. Although it is not as fun as Highway Pursuit and not as good as the original Spy Hunter, it’s the best PC version I’ve found to date. Hopefully, someone will come out with a better portable remake of the classic Spy Hunter soon! You can download this game here: Kamikaze Racer

Another alternative is to use an emulator to play the game. For example, you can play with the MAME emulator and ROM or the Commodore 64 VICE emulator and get the C64 version of Spy Hunter here.

Here is a really fun, challenging and very cool game: Tux Racer. Your aim is to guide the Linux mascot down snow-covered mountains and collect as many herrings on the way as you can. The game is available for Linux, Windows and Mac and is open-source.

The game is really challenging, the trick is to keep your speed down, otherwise it becomes impossible to grab all the fish!
