It's possible to install other things but Neverball and Neverputt is a problem.

I did try
sudo apt-get install neverball
and gives me
vrej@vrej-desktop:~$ sudo apt-get install neverball

vrej@vrej-desktop:~$ sudo apt-get install neverputt

I downloaded the source code from the site
vrej@vrej-desktop:~/neverball-1.4.0$ make

SDL is already installed on my system but I don't have SDL/SDL_ttf.h
Perhaps Neverball source code is too old and the new SDL doesn't need that file anymore.
Anyway, I prefer the binary.
