assuming your using KDE.
right click (in a white area, not an icon)->action-> open terminal here
usually, it's this:
./configure
make
su
[insert password now]
make install
but if you use gentoo, it might be:
su
[insert password here]
emerge name-of-game
and if you install games such as xpilot-ng or xpilot, (I forgot which), you will need to do extra steps...
read the "README" file and "INSTALL" file for instructions.
If you didn't download sources but binaries, it'd be good if you specify the type of file you downloaded and what distro you use.
Google tells me that they are all Windows games. Linux won't run Windows software, any of it. You can use programs like Wine or Cedega (not free) to try and run them but you may not get the best results.
