Is there any way to install a game on a guest account?

It's a public computer with Windows 7 Home Premium at some apartment complex guestroom and I'm sure installing a game on it isn't going to cause any problems, as there are already other games installed when the staff were on the admin account. Everything's outdated and needs to be upgraded but I can't update anything on here because the guest account doesn't allow it... I've tried googling and haven't yet found a way to install a game or bypass the admin account without encountering some errors. It won't even show me the specs of the computer when I go to Properties of Computer in the start menu (ram, hd size) Isn't there a way I can create another virtual drive or some shit to install a game on?

You should ask thedeadwalkk on the PC repair and troubleshooting forum linked in my signature!
I'm not sure, I wish I could help sooner.

If you have a portable drive you can try installing the game to the portable drive and then simply executing the game off directly of the drive. (like a usb stick, for instance.)
You may be unable to run a game installer on the target machine because some windows .exe's to require have admin access. I can't think of a trivial way for you to remove this from the .exe without some programming knowledge or a 3rd party tool so you'd be better off installing it on a machine you do have access too and copying the files to either and external drive of to the host machine (via external drive or network).
If you fancy yourself a bit of a hacker you could try removing the admin password via a cold boot attack. Then you could make yourself an account on the target machine (even hide it.)
I don't recommend stripping the admin pass from the SAM file though because the real admin will be all like "where's my password gone, yo" so you'd be better off using the windows super-superuser account "NT Authority\System"
To do this boot the computer via your favorite gnu/linux live CD, navigate to the windows folder and replace the accessibility files with the command prompt I think it's called "Utilman.exe" or something. Then boot back into windows click accessibility and presto, you're the super-superuser. Now Simply create yourself an account, with the appropriate permissions and login. You can even backup the accessibility options and restore them to normal so the admin never finds your backdoor.

Is that the only computer you have access too? If you have another computer you can make a windows install disk and goto the recovery console and enable the netuser admin account. But you have to change the boot order to USB/CD first.

Oh and make sure you disable it when you are done:
net user administrator /active:no
