How to install game from zip

I checked on Spiderweb Software's site and they have the full versions of some of their older games. The fully registered games are in a .zip format. I downloaded the Blades of Exile game and transferred it Basilisk II. I unzipped it with ZipIt, Stuffit, and MacZip, but all I get is a file that doesn't have an extension.

I checked their website and came upon http://www.spiderwebsoftware.com/misc/macunpk.html, but I still can't get it to install. Any tips on getting this game to install? I'm running MAC OS 8.1 in Basilisk.

You can find the game here: http://www.spiderwebsoftware.com/blades/macBOE.html

That's an OS X zip file, whose Mac-specific data can only be extracted under OS X. If you're using another OS, you'll find the Mac Garden's copy more accessible.

Also here on Mega as img, zip compressed:

The unzipped file may be mounted with the emulators GUI.
Be sure to point the installer to your "games" drive and set your screen to 256 colors for a start.

Edit, Dax did a similar thing albeit faster, it seems.
