I'm getting this error and the normal user is in the games group.  I checked
permessions in /var/games/hack and they look OK:

drwxr-x--- 5 root games 4.0K Nov 27 10:32 ..
-rw-rw---- 1 root games    0 Nov 27 10:32 .keep_games-misc_bsd-games-0
-rw-rw---- 1 root games    0 Nov 27 10:31 perm
-rw-rw---- 1 root games   39 Nov 27 10:51 record
