Linux and Windows/MacOS are two completely different
operating systems. Programs written for one will not easily run on the other.
However, there are emulators out there that will let you play certain games
written for Windows (WINE) or DOS (DosEmu). Both are available from Debian. Be
warned, though, that many newer games are very difficult to emulate, and may not
work.
On the other hand, there are Linux versions of many popular
games. We have Civilization/CivNet (freeciv), a real, free version of Quake, and
more. Also, there are companies that have the rights to release Linux versions
of certain games. Check out Loki Software.
Of course, if you're asking if Linux games (for
Redhat/Mandrake/etc) will run on Debian without problems, then the answer is a
95% yes. The game will work, but it might not work out of the box.
