Well, I'm not actually Simon Tatham, but I found recently that collection, and I wondered, why not to use it in Portableapps. And, here come the copypasta from his website - https://www.chiark.greenend.org.uk/~sgtatham/puzzles/ .

" Introduction
This page contains a collection of small computer programs which implement one-player puzzle games. All of them run natively on Unix (GTK), on Windows, and on Mac OS X. They can also be played on the web, as Java or Javascript applets.

So, I found this simple ASCII game. It's pretty old, but I think, that should be in PortableApps, because It's pretty simple. Here is the license of game:
Progress Quest version 6.2
