Normally a game has a special key to take a screenshot, look in the readme file, or the manual. Or you could google: [name of game] take screenshot, or something like that. In windows to take a screenshot you press the Print Screen key, and this copies the screen to the clipboard. Although Print Screen does not always work in games.

I like screenhunter, it saves the screenshots for you so you dont need to use another program to save them. Its great for taking screenshots in games because you can take as many as you want without interrupting it.

A good program for not only taking screen shots but also managing photos/images is Irfanview. Free to download.

F12 seems to be a fairly commonly used key for taking screenshots in games. And it allows you to take multiple screenshots without having to exit the game, whereas with Print Screen, you have to paste the image to a paint doc before you can take another.
