Probably not, because Nautilus assumes that the application will use a
GUI window.

You don't say which desktop you're using, but the Gnome launcher build
dialogue has a menu box labelled 'Type' that lets you select "Run
application in terminal". I assume the launchers used by KDE, XFCE, etc.
will have a similar capability, so try creating a launcher for Plasma
Pong and using it to run the game.
