The only problem with portable games is the good ones are copyrighted.
Post a HowTo/Tutorial. That might help others do it also.

Here's how I've made Starcraft Semi-Portable:
1) Install Starcraft and BroodWar to your harddrive (C:\Program Files\Starcraft)
2) Install latestest patch from Blizzard (http://www.blizzard.com/support/?id=msc0411p)
3) Copy the files from Program Files to your flash drive
4) Uninstall Starcraft
5) Run starcraft.exe from your flash drive, it will work!
Notes:
- This still requires your CD in the CD drive. Hypothetically you should be able to get a No-CD hack (although I think this is illegal). However, the CD-hacks I've seen require you to copy the 550mb install.exe file from the CD to your install directory, and my flash drive is too small for that.
- As far as I can tell, the registry entries in HKLM/Software/Blizzard Entertainment/Starcraft are unnecessary for the software to run. However, if you ever update (at least with a manually downloaded patch), you will need those registry files. I am not sure if updating via Battle.net would work or not.
I'm nearly sure Starcraft is portabel itself.
I remember playing it at high school lessons
One guy surely done great job by making Starcraft + Broodwar something like 60mb only for playing LAN games, just extract and running and game was working fine ...
Embrace your dreams
Yeah I heard of that Starcraft LAN app months ago, but now I can't find it. Any hints on what to search for on Google?
And any idea about its legality?
Just for interest's sake, SCSharp is a Starcraft implementation for Mono/.NET, written in C#..... Still being worked on.

That's funny Beano. You get us all excited with a portable starcraft and don't give us one
As far as I know, deleting all the saves, maps, replays and staredit is as portable as it gets.
And as for the NoCD battlenet edition, I believe there's only one that works? I haven't really tried it though. I fear getting banned so I just use my CD.
By the way, I like creepcolony.com. *cough cough*
