If you want to add the built in games of Windows such as Freecell and Solitaire,then go to Control Panel,Add-Remove Programs -> Windows Setup -> Accessories and select games.
If you want to install other games,simply run its setup or install file by double clicking on it in Explorer or select Start _> Rin and type in the path of the setup file.

First answer it is for windows 9x, but if you have Windows 2000 do next:
Start->Control Panel->ADD/Removeprogram
Button ADD/REMOVE Windows component->Acsesories->Games

The previous two answers forgot that in Windows 2000 the add/remove games is hidden by default.

You need to edit the sysoc.inf file and take out the HIDE option in the games and accessutil lines to be able to use the add/remove applet to add or remove the games.

Feel free to email if you have questions. Hope this helps and have a great week.
