The syntax for uuencode is

 uuencode [ source-file ] file-label

and the output goes to stdout. If source-file is left out, stdin is read.
This, and the fact that the CLI wants all redirections before the
options give the following command lines:

 uuencode >ram:game.u ram:game game
or perhaps
 uuencode <ram:game >ram:game.u game

The file-label is used to tell uudecode what the file name of the
new file should be.
