Try this:
| Code: | # emerge gentoolkit
# qpkg -l maelstrom | less -r |
and look for the executable.

Maelstrom needs a M (ie not m) to work.
The Jumpnbump link is put in /usr/games for some reason so it needed running from there. (Broken ebuild).
BTW, neither of them are that good although jumpnbump is mild entertainment as a multiplayer game.
