Need help getting Jinxter (game) files useable on Mini vMac

I'm trying to play the game Jinxter. Unlike some other games, which are conveniently already ready to go in disk form as soon as you unstuff them like "Fred Rogers Terrorist" for example, the Jinxter game, which exists as a ".sit" file on this website contains 3 files within the .sit, and I'm not sure how to go about using them. I tried creating a disk and copying all of the files into the disk using HFVExplorer and then dragging the disk into vMac, but the files are all unrecognizable by the system (in my case System 6.0.Cool. Could someone give me some insight on how you're supposed to play games that aren't already stuffed as disk images?

Placed the files available here in a NDIF container mountable in MiniVMac and zipped it with OSX.
Hope that helps. http://ubuntuone.com/6lHqRcyJKPm6ABDMirDJkL

Mac applications get ruined if you expand them under Windows: they lose their Mac-specific "resource forks" which the Windows OS can't see or understand. You have to get the .sit file safely into the Mac emulator and expand it from there.

Anyway, I've just added a .dsk version of Jinxter to the page; hope that helps.
