Yes there is a way to do that...

class Game
     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
        @my_file =
File.new("/Users/Stefan/Ruby/yourfileorthenameofthefileyouwanttocreate.txt",
'a+')
     end

     def to_s
         puts "Games:

#{@title}--#{@platform}--#{@genre}--#{@rating}--#{@published_by}--#{@developed_by}--#{@year}--#{@condition}"
     end
    def savedata
        @my_file.puts "Games:

#{@title}--#{@platform}--#{@genre}--#{@rating}--#{@published_by}--#{@developed_by}--#{@year}--#{@condition}"
    end
    def printdata
        file =
File.open("/Users/Stefan/Ruby/yourfileorthenameofthefileyouwanttocreate.txt")
        file.each {|info| print info}
    end
end

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



the a+ means that it will create a new file and write to it or it will add
on to the end of that file if it already exists.
and I also added a method that will print the file that you made.
also note that since the file is in the a+ mode if you run the program 5
times for example you will have five entries even if they are all the same.
