I have installed a couple of solitaire games through the software manager and they work fine. This morning I thought I would get a little more ambitious and install something a bit more .... exciting. So, through software manager, I installed a game called Bos Wars. However, when I launch the game, the splash screen opens in a window and that's it. Just a window with the splash screen. I went to the website listed and downloaded the .tar.gz file but I thought I'd ask for help before trying to install the game that way. I'm pretty new to Linux and don't want to knacker my system up by blindly forging on.
Any advice would be greatly appreciated. Following is my system info.
