What I usually do, because I've encountered this myself, is that I've
all games in a subdirectory of "Applications" called "Games".
Log into your admin account, launch Terminal.app and type:
sudo chmod -R 777 /Applications/Games
Press 'return' and you will be prompted for your [admin] password.
This changes all subdirectories and files of the Games directory to have
Read/Write/Delete access to all users. I've found no negative side
effect on other users having this access as it allows them to run the
handful of games that might otherwise require individual [game]
installations- and I'd rather save the disk space and not complain to
tech support where I'm sure I'll get no results [therein].
PEACE!
