Playing games from another directory?

If "photopia.dat" is a game. To play it, you would normally type "frotz photopia.dat" (assuming you are in the directory where photopia.dat resides).

But what if you are in your home directory, photopia.dat is in the newly created "games" directory, and you want to play it without switching directories? What's the command?
