RewriteRule ^/fun$ http://www.domain.com/games/default.html [R]
May not be the only or best way, but should work a treat.
That's fine, but to avoid mod_rewrite you can use simply
Redirect /fun http://www.domain.com/games/default.html
or
RedirectMatch ^/fun$ http://www.domain.com/games/default.html
if you want to be more restrictive.

Dave -
As Joshua has noted Redirect is the most expedient way, but you say
that's not working. How exactly is it failing? Apache won't* start?
Doesn't redirect** as you would expect? Returns an error**?
R.
* Run apachctl configtest (or your site equivalent - Debian/Ubuntu call
it apachectl or apache2ctl depending on the version of Apache HTTPd
you're running) and copy the error into your reply.
** A sanitized copy of the appropriate parts of your httpd.conf or
.htaccess would be required to figure out why it's not working. Alias /
AliasMatch only work in the server config or vitual host context.
Redirect will work in an .htaccess file, but may not be allowed by your
server configuration. The appropriate access_log or error_log may also
have useful information - copy the appropriate lines in the log to your
follow-up as well.
