The error message indicates a bug or incompatibility between your X environment / X server and the proprietary Nvidia driver. This is a low level error and not related to ace-of-penguins which only requires a 2D capable graphics card. Everything from the past 20 years should work. If the game works with nouveau it is most likely a bug in the non-free driver. Since the source code is closed it is not possible for Debian to work on a fix. The game works flawlessly on my system by the way. Please note that you can download an earlier version of the Nvidia driver from snapshots.debian.org. I am inclined to reassign this issue to xserver-xorg-video-nvidia-legacy-304xx. Please confirm this is the package you are currently using. I am sure the maintainers of xserver-xorg-video-nvidia-legacy-304xx would be interested in your /var/log/Xorg.* log file because it provides a more detailed error report. Please attach this file to the bug report. Regards, Markus
