do you follow the same path where you have saved it as when you do the install??? and you just type dpkg -r (the name ).deb and hit enter...???? it says that i have to write exactly the name of all the files i want to unistall..

It doesn't matter what folder your in, you have to write the games name (for example, if the game is called Abcd, you write dpkg -r Abcd), not the name of the games installation file.

You could use wildcards like * to get more files with one shot, some of which might be the wrong files.

Then the game isn't probably called assassins, try typing dpkg -l and try to find the games name from the list.

you can get list of all installed programs/games doing so:
if it's to long you can write the output to file:
you can open it with
find the game name and then dpkg -r and the exact name
Code:
dpkg -l
Code:
dpkg -l > lap
Code:
vi lap
