Before You Start
Required Software

Installation Steps
Download the Game
Browse our game collection and find the game you want to download. Click on the game to view its details page.
Download Tips:
- • Choose "Compressed" version to save bandwidth
- • Use a download manager (IDM, FDM) for faster speeds
- • Make sure you have enough storage space
- • Don't close browser until download completes
Extract the Downloaded Files
After download completes, you'll have a RAR or ZIP file. You need to extract it before installation.
Extraction Steps:
- 1. Right-click on the downloaded RAR/ZIP file
- 2. Select "Extract Here" or "Extract to [folder name]"
- 3. Wait for extraction to complete (may take 10-30 minutes)
- 4. Open the extracted folder
Important Note:
If you don't have WinRAR or 7-Zip installed, download and install one of them first. WinRAR is recommended for best compatibility.
Run the Setup/Installer
Open the extracted folder and look for the setup file (usually named setup.exe, install.exe, or similar).
Installation Steps:
- 1. Right-click on setup.exe
- 2. Select "Run as Administrator"
- 3. Follow the on-screen installation instructions
- 4. Choose installation directory (preferably on SSD)
- 5. Wait for installation to complete
- 6. Do NOT run the game yet if crack/patch is needed
💡 Pro Tip:
Install games on your SSD (if available) for faster loading times. Make sure you have 2-3x the compressed file size as free space for extraction and installation.
Apply Crack/Patch (If Needed)
Some games require a crack or patch to be applied. Check if there's a "Crack" folder in the extracted files.
How to Apply Crack:
- 1. Open the "Crack" or "Fix" folder
- 2. Copy all files inside
- 3. Navigate to game installation directory
- 4. Paste and replace files when prompted
- 5. Confirm "Replace" if asked
Antivirus Warning:
Your antivirus might flag crack files as threats. This is a false positive. Add the game folder to your antivirus exclusion list before applying crack.
Launch and Play the Game
You're all set! Now you can launch and enjoy your game.
How to Launch:
- • Double-click desktop shortcut (if created)
