I have FreeBSD 1.1.5.1 installed on my harddrive. My question is, are the 
games that come with the distribution (i.e., those on /usr/games) 
operable? I've tried starting them by simply typing their names: nothing 
happens (or rather, command not recognized). I've also tried using the 
exec command: I get kicked back to the login prompt when I do.

What gives?
