I can download the file easily but i cant get it so i can play it.i will save it in my documents but all there is is a folder with with lots of other links. i dont know what to do.

erm, the file game is packed, unzipping might help =]

download latest winzip and extract all the files somewhere.
oh, or you can use default windows outdated zip, but it doesn't have to work. so in case of default windows unzipper copy files from .zip file you downloaded and paste them to a directory

Use Winzip to unpack the game, use DosBox to run it.

Wow. This is one of those thing I just thought was common knowledge. I just never concieved that anyone would not know that.

That's not an insult to you Emzy. I should have realized someone wouldn't know that.

Drag and drop the archive with the right mouse button and choose "Extract..." from the menu that pops up. (It doesn't matter where you drop it, anywhere else on your desktop is fine so long as there's no other icon there.) Press "Next>" twice, wait until it's done, and press "OK". You can then delete the original file or save it for future use.
