you need either

WinRAR

or

WinZip


these will 'unzip' the file for you, i personally think winrar is the better one of the two.

Both are easy to use. There's others also which are free. Stuffit expander http://www.stuffit.com/win/index.html (just the basic expander which is free) & also

I cant talk you through from unzipping to playing the game because every game is different...

i take it you can now access the zip file???

if so usually there is a help.txt or readme.txt to guide you through the installation process.

you have obviously downloaded a priate version of the game, with these you normally have to run the keygen etc and do certain things before the game will run.

i havent managed to get a game to work yet.

maybe because i thick!!!

so good luck...
