I was emailed a solution, thanks Lili-Anne. I have to delete the entry in
the .desktop file that starts with "TryExec". I did it to one and didn't
have to log out to make it work.

I edited my .bashrc file so that I would have the games in my $PATH. Is it
possible that I would have to have to fix the problem with it coming up in
all users $PATH so that the games items will show in the menu? If so where
to I start with that?

Yes I do have "xfce-applications.menu"
I am running version 4.8
I have tried logging into a brand new user. Created an account and deleted
afterwords!
