Caiman Free Games http://www.caiman.us - F.A.Q. How can I download a game and play it? | |
There are many ways to do it, so I will try to explain it by an example: - - - - - - - - - - - - - - | |
When you found a game, you will find the downloads below the review. Click on "Download from caiman.us" - - - - - - - - - - - - - - | |
- - - - - - - - - - - - - - |
A window will open and prompt you for "Open" or "Save" the file. Click on "Open". note: Each version of Windows will show you another kind of message. Don't worry, the system is always the same. |
A program will open. In most cases it will be the program WinZip that opens. note: each version of WinZip has a different layout, but the system is always the same. REMARK 1: Look at the column "Path". If there exists a path for each single file, then you don't have to create a new folder (in this example the path is empty, so we will have to create a folder later) - - - - - - - - - - - - - - | |
Click on "Extract" - - - - - - - - - - - - - - | |
The next window will open (or something as this one, depending of your WinZip version) Open your C: drive (by clicking on the plus sign "+", see picture above) - - - - - - - - - - - - - - Select the folder wherein you wish to extract your game. (in this example I choose C:\Games") - - - - - - - - - - - - - - | |
If you need to create a new folder (see REMARK 1) then click on the "new folder" icon
| |
The program will prompt you for the name of the new folder | |
Choose a name that you like, write it and click on "OK" (in this example I choose "MarioUW") - - - - - - - - - - - - - - | |
Yet, you will see the right path in your program. (in this example: "C:\Games\MarioUW") Click on "Extract" - - - - - - - - - - - - - - | |
Yet, the window will close, and you will see the first one again. Just close it. (click on the "X" in the upper right corner) - - - - - - - - - - - - - - | |
Yet, you see your desktop. Click on "My computer" Click on the C: drive Click on the folder wherein your game is located (in our example is that "Games") And at last, click on the subfolder wherein your game is located (in our example is that "MarioUW") - - - - - - - - - - - - - - |
|
Yet you found the game on your computer. In most cases, click on the game (a file ending on ".exe" or without any extension, and it has mostly a nice icon) and enjoy the game! If the game calls "setup.exe", "setup", install.exe", install", or so on, the game will install itself. I can't explain how the install works, because each install will work different. Just follow the steps, click on "Next" and at last at "Finish". | |
If you want a shortcut of the game at your desktop: | |
Click with the RIGHT mouse button on the icon of the game. A pop-up window will open, click on "Create Shortcut". | |
You will see a new file, called "Shortcut to ..." Drag and drop this file to your desktop, and that is it! (Drag and drop = click on the new shortcut and hold the mouse button down, move your mouse till it is above your desktop, and release the mouse button) | |
