Better yet... put /etc/games in your path.
If you are compiling your own files run them with ./foo or create your
own
bin directory (give everyone one and you can put ~/bin in the master
profile)
All the unixics I have known, none of them have "." in the path.
My guess is that "." is not in your
path. It usually isn't for the
root
login. Try typing ./tetris or ./trek from the /usr/games directory.
Most likely the above is the problem you're having. However, before
you jump
to add "." to your environment variable PATH in your login script...
remember thats a security issue. You usually want to be very careful
that
you're running the system copy of vi for example, and not an
executable that
some miscreant has renamed from "rm" to "vi".
