What every game it is you choose to add, you need to read the 'README' or 'INSTALL' after untarring the source. These will have directions on installing the game (general ./configure, make and make install) and what dependencies the program may have. Depending on the game, it maybe available as a Debian package. You can try the following:
Code:
apt-get update
apt-cache search tuxkart
If the game is available:
Code:
apt-get install tuxkart

You will need to untar the file to a directory somewhere first as well...
