You probably don't have `.' in your PATH. Put `.' in your PATH and
then you'll be able to run games while in the /usr/games directory.
Even better, put `/usr/games' in your PATH. Then, you can run them
from any directory.

Doug, He/She is probably logged in as root.
It's not in roots path, Just users.

mtoole, (Sorry didn't see your name) Login to your user account
and then su to root if you need root previlages.
Don't login as root all the time! Mucho dangerous!

-Enjoy
