Problem now resolved, steps taken as follows:

1. Ran terminal command : sudo apt-key adv --keyserver
keyserver.ubuntu.com --recv-keys XXXXXXXX (sudo rather than gksudo -
I'll confess that I don't really know what the difference is, but
decided to take a punt)

2. Ran sudo apt-get update, and received error message:

W: GPG error: https://private-ppa.launchpad.net precise Release: The
following signatures couldn't be verified because the public key is not
available: NO_PUBKEY XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX (not sure if this information is
important, so I've removed it - can provide if necessary)

3. Ran sudo apt-key adv --keyserver keyserver.ubuntu.com --recv-keys
XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX

4. Ran sudo apt-get update, no error message.

Game has now installed.  As might be obvious, I'm pretty hazy as to what
any of this actually means, but I'll be happy to provide any further
information if you let me know what's useful.  :)

All the best,

- Chris.
