I missed the "le" the first time too. It is to indicate the action happened in the past. The key here is the "did" in the English question, as opposed to "are" or "will".

That's not exactly right...well it's really not right at all. 了 isn't used to indicate past tense. It's to indicate change. So get that past tense stuff outta your brain

The games have already been purchased: the action is complete and therefore you use the completed action marker, 了, after the verb 買 ( 买 ).

How do you categorise this into the word order? Subject, time, place, model auxiliary verb, verb and object
