Put the games in /bin or /usr/local/games
"man chmod" should give you the info you need for getting other users to the files (generally the executable file).
then in your /home/whoever/games dir make a symbolic link to the game in /bin or /usr/local/games
I pretty much use /usr/local for games I want to be accessed across my LAN (when I finally configure it) but use /bin if you want to.
Some people put only system utilities in /usr/local and games and other stuff in /bin. Whatever floats your boat, your the admin.
