I am also getting a crash on Mac OS X with the latest Java plugin (1.0d6). The crashes are likely unrelated. However, I got a stern warning the first time I visited the site saying that they don't support any version of Netscape browsers because our version of Java is too old. This either means they only support Java2, or JDK 1.1. The original MRJ plugin for Mac OS 8 & 9 does support JDK 1.1 Java, and the new MRJ plugin for Mac OS X supports Java2. So, this site should work with at least one of the plugins, unless they are generating content that explicitly filters out these browsers.
Strange content in the Asteroids page: <applet align=absMiddle code=Asteroids.jar height=425 width=475 archive="classes.jar" codebase="/media/sp/atari/asteroids"> <param name="scale" value="1.9"> <param name="align" value="absMiddle"> <param name="code" value="Asteroids.class"> <param name="height" value="425"> <param name="width" value="475"> <param name="archive" value="classes.jar"> <param name="codeBase" value="/media/sp/atari/asteroids"> <param name=userid value="Guest"> <param name=gamename value="asteroids"> <param name=requestURI value="/playgames/post_sp_game_score.jsp"> <param name=minHighScore value="0"> </applet> Typically the CODE attribute of an <APPLET> element is supposed to be of the form "Asteroids.class" not "Asteroids.jar". This explains why the applet won't load.
The problems running this applet are probably a combination of incorrect HTML (applet element problem already cited) and the use of SSL. This rewritten HTML does run the applet.
