This may be a dumb question, but I'm not sure what the problem is,
so I don't know exactly how to go about finding the solution.
I've built/installed these games from the ports tree, and they
start fine. However, the sound is terrible. The sound card
seems to be echoing each sound at least 5 times. This, in turn,
slows the games down.
I've disabled KDE's sound daemon, thinking that maybe it was
trying to play the sounds as well, but it's the same.
Anyway, I figured _someone_ on this list has probably installed
one of these games and figured it out.

Thanks.
Mike
btw... What the _heck_ does "GIANT-LOCKED" mean, anyway?
