how do I run games

[bloodpuppy]

downloaded some games using Synaptic, found them in /usr/games, but I cannot execute them. what do I need to do?

[desdinova]

the command line in the terminal will be

/usr/games/commandname

then if it works,add it to your Gnome Menu

[bloodpuppy]

I type in:

$ /usr/games/spellcast

and get this:

usage: spellcast RemoteDisplay [ RemoteDisplay2 ... ]
$

what now?

spellcast is a multiplayer game, the remotedisplay spec is used to define the hostnames and display specs of other players.
