Tropico 3 just has a serial key. You can play it without the disk in the drive and nothing is running in the background (the game, and only the game).

I never checked how much resources the Assassin's Creed II Launcher takes up. I suspect not much but that's beside the point. The system resources really aren't a problem in an age where most computers have at least 2 GiB RAM. The problem is that it requires a virtually uninterruptable internet connection which most of the world doesn't have.
