just installed makdrake 10.1, linux newbie

got round problems with bootloader, but little dissapointed to find the games wont load

supertux for example, it starts to load shown by the tab at the bottom
then dissapears

the other programs seem to work fine, but I havent had a proper explore yet
cant wait to get oriented

any ideas how to get them to work? or is this normal?
