I have this link http://excogames.com/ that I got off of another thread here..can't remember which one ...but they too were asking about an arcade...anyhow..

No I do not think you would be allowed to add these games to your site.
But what would be allowed would be linking to the games. :) |

A know a lot of people link (embed) the games on their forum posts! ... that's okay isn't it? |

Normally not really as it can violate copyright rules.
Embeding a game can steal bandwith + some may not like you stealing their games. They rather you come to their site to play the game then you playing it on someone elses site am I right?
If they allow embeding, they will say it clearly and give you a nice code so you can easily install it.
Excogames does not allow this. *Goes and read TOS*
EDIT: No TOS to be found only this page.

Sorry Seb, I meant to mention downloading it (as the typical object embedding code with .SWF files) to upload to your own server/hosting provider.
Excogames.com allows embedding though??? |

We use www.miniclip.com, www.freeonlinegames.com etc. etc. for a kids section on our forum (just the typical download code for embedding into a post) |

Mamabear (Grumpy) and I established our SM board about 5 months ago. We have had a few Exco.com games on our board since then. I recently added a link to all the games...so that our members can have access to the entire list and select whichever game they would like to play out of the 100's available.
At the bottom left of each game is a small window that says:
To use this game on your forum, site or blog, copy and paste the following code into your html code.
Each game has it's own individual html code so that one or all can be "embedded/downloaded/copied and pasted" to your own message board forum. All the games are Excoboards.com copyrighted....but are available to anyone and everyone....regardless of what kind of board you have (i.e.Invision, proboard, VBulletin, etc).

You can embed the games in your forums, website or anywhere else you like. |
