Hi,

It seems that the game is a binary blob and requires some older libraries.
Have you installed some 32bit libraries. You can check what you need with
'ldd some_binary'. For 32bit libraries you might want to use 'abi_x86_32'
for the needed libraries or enable it globlly in make.conf and then
recompile everything.
