ANY GAME
I use Internet Explorer 6, and If it's of any use I have win 98 and for archives I use WinRar.

Just checked and some archived pages doesn't go to games only the pictures but links are broken. Some work though.
Dont get a "no archive found" message though.

I assume that the archives on this site are all .zip, so try downloading the latest WinZip version k:

Exactly. Downloading the latest version of the right unarchiver will undoubly solve this problem. If it's a .zip, donwload the latest WinZip version.

If it still doesn't work, then try downloading the game again as it may have gotten corrupted in the download.

If the problem persists after redownloading the archive and downloading the latest version of the right unarchiver, than you might have a virus which makes corrupt every type of archive (even self-extractor ones). In that case try downloading BitDefender 9 Pro trial or Kaspersky trial. k:
