Step 1: Download.
Step 2: Install.
Step 3: Extract it by putting the rar file where you want the game, right clicking, and hitting "Extract Here".
Step 4: Enjoy.
Step 5: Stop asking this a thousand times everywhere.
Step 6: ???
Step 7: Profit!

JS's EDIT: Sorry. I had to do this.

Blah's edit: Bah, silly JS, I meant to trick people into thinking it would say that, but not. You ruin everything =(

IOS: For anybody that wants to extract the files from the .rar, but doesn't want to download any software, use this website.

I'll just go ahead and sticky this.
You know, because with this, we can sort of avoid all the "OH GOD TEH GAEM R RAR WUT I DEW" threads.

Yup, this will help.

Just so you know, WinRAR is shareware. You will be asked to buy it 40 days after the install. Might be a good idea to look for some freeware extractors after the trial (although I think WinRAR works better).

You can still use WinRAR even after the trial period. I still do. Never bought it and it still works, though I'm not exactly sure if they fixed that.

WinAce is another good program, as well. You can extract multiple filetypes, including .zip, .rar, .ace, .7z, and many others. Although I'd recommend WinRAR for extract .rar files, I use WinAce for everything else, works great! Although it is shareware, again, you don't have to buy it to extract files with it. And for some reason, Windows Vista completely ignores the trial period.

There are a few problems with that though, as my friend isn't an admin on his computer so he can't install winrar, so I'm going to make a Mirror thats a .zip file that hopefully will stop all this OMG its a RAR nonsense even more!

WinRAR's more universally compatable, so, WinRAR's better.

Adding your post to the top, IOS.

Winzip lets you unzip .rar files and the same thing applies as it is shareware but the program still works after the trial ends

Hi i downloaded the the game and music pack onto my flash drive, but I got the RAR file just like in your post I tried to folow the steps but it didn't help me. Can you explain how to install it and extract it so I can play the demo? Do I need any thing like Java Script to play it? Im not really good with computers. Please email me at traviscox@rocketmail.fom with the answer. Thank you for your time.

I am unstickying this topic on the grounds that the game might never need to be compressed in RAR again.

...except I don't know how. Help?

I think this topic still can have some merit. It's pinned until further notice. :|

Well, it seems like the link in the first post is broken. Figures since I lost my WinRar when I ran Restore on my computer. Now I can't re-download the game.
