 def
initialize(title,platform,genre,rating,published_by,developed_by,year,condition)
 @title=title
 @platform=platform
 @genre=genre
 @rating=rating
 @published_by=published_by
 @developed_by=developed_by
 @year=year
 @condition=condition

 def to_s
 puts "Games:
#{@title}--#{@platform}--#{@genre}--#{@rating}--#{@published_by}--#{@developed_by}--#{@year}--#{@condition}"

game1=Game.new("FireProReturns","Playstation_2","Sports","Teen",
"Good","Agetec_Inc.","2000","Very_Good")
game1.to_s


Is what I'm guessing you should have.
You can put both of the methods in the same class.
You forgot the 'puts' before the Games: in the to_s method
Also uh to print a variable you have to have #{var} not #(var)
and when you had the game1=Game.new you were missing two of your arguments
hehe I just made them up.
And as Vikhyat said you needed to name the class Game for your
initialization to work or you can keep the class name Games but put the
other one to Games too.
Running the code above should give you

Games:
FireProReturns--Playstation_2--Sports--Teen--Good--Agetec_Inc.--2000--Very_Good
