Anyone ever play baseball on the TI-89's? Man it was fun the first few games but then it got extremely boring. 
Fall Down is definitely the best game ever created for the calculators. It could keep me focused for a whole class period, but focused on the wrong thing.

I can go back even further and say about how I used to bring my 5 1/4" floppy's to school and play a primitive kind of Pole Position-type game on the TRS-80's while everyone else was trying to figure out how to get their turtle to script out a square in LOGO, but that's dating myself.

like others have said it would probably be easiest running it of a external drive or key! but all depends on if you have these! you could also compress down the install from 2x 700mb disks to around 200mb then upload it to a site! but this is complicated! also no way of knowing if the pcs will run it if you will be monitored doing this! also even if you have access with your/teachers account to install to certain drives and edit the registry. all depends how your schools setup! if you have a home folder to store your documents to then you would probably have access to install there but might not have access to edit the registry!
its alot of hassle to play a bit of wolf!

There shouldn't be any reason to have to access the registry. The game as far as I'm aware doesn't use any registry entries (other than the version info and that's only for installing patches)
So basically all you have to do is make a copy the 'Return to Castle Wolfenstein' folder that you have now and burn it on a CD or put it on a USB thumb drive, whatever you want...no installation necessary.

installing it to a usb key works i tried it last night! took like 80mins to install though you will probably be better just copying it as its faster. as for how it plays it is choppy and freezes when your are in the menu system and when you amend config files but when you are actually playing it is quite smooth with the occasional jitter! but that may have been lag as i didn't install 1.41 and was on like the only server with people on in 1.0 or whatever version it was!
how it plays greatly depends on the system you have and the speed of the usb key. my usb key is slow hence why when i directly installed to it it took 80mins! but my pc (laptop & desktop) is fast and it runs fine but i tried it on a machine at work and it was slow and barely loaded! the work system i tried it on was a 2.8 p4 with 1gig of ram! but try it out and let us know how you get on!
