Two of them (Bit.Trip Runner and Jamestown) need a super recent version of a shared library (libstdc++.so) that comes with gcc 4.6.2 (!).
Jamestown works fine here on 64 and i486 current without the need to ugly up my lib directory. Though I extracted the mojo installer bundle, which is just a zip file. If you want to script extracting any of the games made with the Mojo installation bin, just put something like this in the SlackBuild -
I'll upload a new working Jamestown slackbuild. Bit.trip will also work with the help of LD_LIBRARY_PATH and by putting the library inside the game folder, cause it doesn't come with its own. No need to "ugly up" /lib ;-)
Yeah I know. Bit.Trip's slackbuild downloads libstdc++ for you, just make sure you have wget installed. I hope the slackbuilds work for everyone. More bundles (previous and future) will be added in the next weeks.
Thanks Munra for notifying me, I'll have a look at it tommorow, it's pretty late over here :-)
I see they've updated other games too, I hope the didn't break anything new.
edit:
Quick question though... Have you added your user to 'games' group ? I've setup the slackbuilds this way because some games need write permissions for their folders, and for sake of consistency. If you haven't done this (I also mention this in my blogpost):
su -
usermod -a -G games yourusername
