Same problems after install of Maverick...
Lights Out worked after installing java and re-installing lights out with 
Ubuntu Software Centre (and several other games came along with it). (perhaps 
it doesn't need to be reinstalled, but  I had already removed it before 
installing Java).
Complicated because java is now in the care of Oracle and they are 
Windows-centric on their java pages, however
http://www.java.com/en/download/help/linux_install.xml gives instructions (use 
self-extracting 20.2mb Not RPM).
I created a java directory in my home directory (ie mkdir ~/java/) copied the 
downloaded file into there chmod +x & ran it, but if you have multiple users 
you should probably put it in /usr (ie sudo mkdir /usr/java) and use sudo to 
run it.
off topic - To get java applets in Firefox see 
http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/java/javase/manual-plugin-install-linux-136395.html,
 test the applet & wait ... Firefox should eventually prompt you to install the 
Iced Tea plugin.

Doesn't help for Swell Foop though, sorry Dr DiBona.
