It will also run when you type ./filename in /etc/games or type
/etc/games/filename.

Edit your system enviroment file, normaly one of .profile .bash_profile
or /etc/profile /etc/bashrc In Redhat for the user "root" edit /etc/profile
add /etc/games to the PATH= line. Then make your console reread the file so
as to allow the changes to take effect.
echo $PATH will show the whole path enviroment.
