It's probably not in your path.  While in the directory, try executing it
as ./game instead of just game.  If that works, add /usr/bin/games or
whatever to your PATH.  How to add it to your path varies by shell.  sh
and derivatives, use

export PATH=$PATH:/usr/bin/games

not sure on csh and derivatives.
