What game and how do you mean play it - Download - rename files (if need be) decompress , run setup and play in most cases :)

If you haven't already, snag WinRAR.

http://www.rarlabs.com

Then once that's all installed, attempt to extract the Heretic files using WinRAR.

Obviously since you're using Windows XP (It's very predictable to know EVERY NEWBIE uses this p-OS) you're gonna need a newer engine for it. Zdoom works great with Heretic.

Extract 98.cab in the Heretic folder, and RUN zdoom.exe
