Green drives conserve power by spinning down the platters when idle. There will be a delay when you try to access the drive as it needs time to spin up. Green drives are used mostly as storage drives, not OS drives or for games/programs.

The games may be timing out as it waits for the drive to spin up.

You originally said games, not just a single game.
