    The # symbol can be escaped within cfoutput tags and in other areas such as strings by doubling it up like ##.

    So you need to use the following code:

    <cfoutput query="getGames">
    <li>
    <a href="#link_url#" style="background: ##E97B2A; display: block; height: 320px; width: 500px;">#name#</a>
    </li>
    </cfoutput>
