First Gen Games (previously known as Lander) is the start of a collection of games I used to play as a kid. This updated release includes Lander, Asteroid, Breakout and now Missile Command. I've tried to keep them true to their original gameplay, with just a few artistic modificatons.
Lander is an old style spaceship landing simulator. Keyboard arrow controls are used to rotate and apply thrust so that a safe landing on the pad can be achieved.
Asteroid is the great classic action game. Destroy those rocks but watch out for their pieces when they

Breakout's goal is to keep the ball bouncing up until you've destroyed all the blocks. So far only three basic block maps are implemented, but more are on the way!

Plus a hardware project to build a USB-connected PDP-1 front panel.

Works great! I remeber fondly hating the arcade version with a passion - thanks for the "Newbie" setting. Now I can erase all those painful arcade version crashes from my memory!

The game play is sparse but accurate. It does exactly what it needs to, and nothing more. No useless bells and whistles to bloat it up.
Excellent.
My only suggestion is that the game play needs to be varied more in the harder levels. Perhaps having the target shift slightly, or starting the craft at a much higher altitude, or even having the craft start at slightly random angles and decent velocities.

While the game is very simply designed, and there's not much to it, I found it nearly impossible to keep the "lander" under control, even at it's easiest setting. I kept crashing and crashing the lander time after time(I just can't believe the original moon lander was THIS difficult).
It was a progressively more frustrating and unsatisfying experience. So I just gave it the finger and went on my not-so-merry way.
Sadly, I guess I'm just not cut out to be an astronaut.

Tried to restart my Mac but no go. Had to do a hard shutdown using power button. Some of my browsers still wouldn't launch after restarting.
Ran Diskwarrior, which reported that a number of files were damaged beyond repair.
Finally, all my browsers stated working normally again, thank God.
Everything on my Mac was working just fine 'till I attempted to downloadFGG.
Don't think that I'll mess with FGG again...seems too risky, a big headache.
Sorry about your downloading issue, but I have been unable to reproduce you problem so far on the development machines I have available. Its only an Zip download so I'm thinking maybe it was another issue on your computer? Could you do me a huge favor and try it one more time and let me know of your success or if your still having a download issue?
Thanks!
