# pkg_add emacs
pkg_add: Error: package `emacs-24.0.50.20110821' was built with a newer pkg_install version
pkg_add: 1 package addition failed

So I installed pkgsrc and did a make install in /usr/pkgsrc/pkgtools/pkg_install.

Then I added /usr/pkg/sbin:/usr/pkg/bin to the front of my path, and tried again. That seemed to work.

This was the 1^st time I've played Vegas Showdown and the 2^nd time I've played Cosmic Encounter. I'll need to play a lot more before I figure out good strategies.
