Hi,
Sorry for the newbie question but I'm trying to download Maccricket game, but everytime I do it automatically opens it with TextEdit, resulting in a file of jibberish. How do I go about downloading this game, and what app do I run it with?
I hope these questions make sense - as you can probably tell, computers aren't my forte.
Thanks
Paddyd

does the game have the extensions .sit / .bin?

Looks like both the color and B&W versions are stuffed (.sit). Paddy, what OS are you running? You may need to download Stuffit Expander to un-stuff the file...

Hi, I'm running mountain lion os. I think I have stuff it expander but it doesn't seem to give me an option to un-stuffit. And Alexei, yes it has a sit extension. Still clueless, I'm afraid. But thanks both of you for replying.

Actually, that Stuff it thing worked. At least as far as being able to d'load the game. I can't open it because "the classic environment is no longer supported", but thanks for your help.

Now you need to get sheepshaver.

Anyway, thanks Alexei - I downloaded Sheepshaver but I have no idea what to do with it. There doesn't seem to be a file to run. I think I'll just confide the whole thing to the too hard basket, but thanks again for your help.

I don't know how to run sheepshaver either, but someone else on here will help you for sure.

Would be a shame to give up so soon. Some vital hints can be found too by googling for:
