Is there a command-line I can run that will uninstall the
games from Windows 2000 Professional? I need to run it on
over 300 PCs.

Well, I was hoping for a command line but thanks for the
suggestions.
Over on the AD Newsgroup someone (Rhinehart?)
post this for disabling exe's with GPOs:
##Open the GPO you need to edit then navigate to :
##User Configuration>>Administrative Templates>>System
## >>Don't run specified windows applications
## just need the name of the .exe to restrict.
Now, that doesn't sound so hard -- at least not as difficult
as I made it seem.
"This policy only prevents users from running programs that are
started by the Windows Explorer process. It does not prevent users
from running programs, such as Task Manager, that are started by the
system process or by other processes. Also, if you permit users to
gain access to the command prompt, Cmd.exe, this policy does not
prevent them from starting programs in the command window that they
are not permitted to start by using Windows Explorer."
Well, that is pretty cruddy. You are right of course since it is
merely an Explorer restriction.
Ok, here's a way that works: Change the Execute special
permission (using a batch file OR GPO) to deny execute
to any group, even Everyone.
Even works for Admins (unless they change the permissions back.)
As long as the individual doesn't have "Full Control" or "own" the
files it works completely.
