Just a suggestion, try screen.
Maybe "screen -m -d /usr/local/games/gameprogram"
-m -d Start screen in "detached" mode. This creates a
new session but doesn't attach to it. This is use�
ful for system startup scripts.
-m -D This also starts screen in "detached" mode, but
doesn't fork a new process. The command exits if
the session terminates.
