	A quick solution would be to make a script file instead of an
alias.  Edit a file called "abc", and put the lines:

		cd Games:
		run hisGame

into it.  Put the file "abc" into a directory in your search path:

		copy abc Some_Directory_In_Your_Path

Finally, set the script bit on the file by typing: 

		cd Some_Directory_In_Your_Path
		protect abc +s

You now have an "abc" command as given above.
