Simple answer - you cannot.  The VMware Tools contain the video card driver for the VMware SVGA video adapter.  It is required for 3d/accelerated graphics.

If the engineers of the game have done a good job there is no way to cheat.

If they were lazy you may be able to cheat with some special vmx-parameters.

You can find those here in the forum ....

But if you have a post here that links those parameters to the game that you want to use the next update of that game will close that gap.

So if you are clever you research this on your own and keep a low profile ...

Thanks for the quick response @continuum , I would like to exactly do what the OP of this thread was trying to do, so I don't really see a point in opening a new thread. I am trying to run a game on vmware workstation. Is there any way I can run the application, without installing vmware tools? I basically want to use the "Accelerate 3d Graphics" setting, without installing VMWare tools.

And the answer is the same... you CANNOT.  If you do not install the VMware Tools, then the emulated video card will not have a device driver installed for it, and will be treated as a generic SVGA video card with no 3D capabilities.

Game X can be persuaded to run inside a VM by setting a bunch of vmx-parameters.
Game Y can NOT be persuaded to run inside a VM.

And you say you did exactly what OP did ? - no further questions.
