Now unzip the file.

Now you have the file, you need to be able to play it. There are two main ways of doing this. You could download VisualBoyAdvance or RetroArch which allow you to easily play GameBoy games on your computer. This will allow you to play the Game Boy version of Minecraft. However, if you want to run it on an actual Game Boy, then you will need to get something like this here. Another good store for getting GameBoy Flash Carts is www.retrotowers.co.uk. Game Boy Flash Carts allow you to easily play your own games by uploading them to a MicroSD card to your Game Boy.
