this is possiable if one server is having all games and server should be 2 gb ram and all games should be on hard disk (atleat sata ) . if u share the cd rom then cd rom on network will run very slow.

THIS IS AN UNTESTED SUGGESTION…, YOU MAY TRY XENSOURCE DOT ORG, IT IS AN OPEN SOURCE VIRTUAL MACHINE, AND THEN ENGINEER YOUR HARDWARE/SOFTWARE TO FIT. TIM.

Just remember to thoroughly test the solution. I know many of my favorite FPS games will not run if virtual drive software is on the system. They check for the software on game load every time. And none of them will run from a networked CDROM drive that I have played in the last few years.
They have put these protections in place to try and limit bootlegging.

I don’t see that the purchase of a third party software is necessary. Of course, you have provided limited information about your network.
If you are running Windows XP utilizing Microsoft Windows Network, you can just share the CD drive on each PC. Then go back through them creating a network place shortcut for each machine/CD drive on each PC.
If the CD for the particular game is loaded into the CD of the sharing PC, the game will be accessible.
