This is probably just because you don't have the current directory or
/usr/games in your path. Can you run them with the full path (for example,
/usr/games/tetris)? If so, this is your problem. Add /usr/games to
your path. You can specify things in the current directory with ./, so
you could say
# cd /usr/games
# ./tetris
or
# /usr/games/tetris
to get basically the same effect.
It's usually best to not run everything (incl. games) as root, though...
I think your other questions have been answered.
Good luck!
