Can I set command line executed games to open in a window instead of fullscreen?

I really enjoy some of the free Linux games and just downloaded Cave Story, one of my all-time favorites. However, I can only play the game in full screen, 800X600 Resolution. I was wondering if I could run this program in a window instead of full screen. Is there a command or Unity plugin to do this? Also, would the same work to run SuperTux in a window as well? I'm running 12.04 if that makes any difference.
Thanks for your help.

This can be configured from within the game itself, usually from the Settings menu. For example, here's how to set windowed mode for SuperTux:

The in-game configuration can be done running the game, then choosing
the Options menu. There you can configure: Graphics Mode (OpenGL/SDL),
toggle fullscreen mode on/off, Enable or Disable Sound and Music, Show
FPS (Frames Per Second) and do a Keyboard Setup (changing what
keyboard keys do in the games' action).
