OK. Making this how to. I did not know/pay attention that the pacman I downloaded which I call miss_pacman which is free ware from here
http://www.dosgamesarchive.com/download/ms-pac-pc/did have a folder to keep all the Windows stuff in. So my next steps arwe on the fly so to speak because I extracted my download and made my folder afterwards and dragged and dropped all the loose Windows bits into ~/Games one at a time. But I will tell you a better way than that.
