The games in that directory do not need X to run. Just exit KDE and go
to that directory and type the name of the game at the console preceded
by "./". eg.
./gomoku
./quiz baby adult (I like this one, just type ./quiz to
see other categories.)
The X based games are in /usr/X11R6/bin mixed together with other
programs.
