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.

Next window that opens will ask where to extract to
See that button on the top r/h corner called create folder. Use that to make a new folder to download everything in the next step I show to. Make sure you are inside of that new folder before using my next step. I call mine "miss_pacaman"
