150498 - Java Game either Non-Portable or we have a bad implementation

Status: RESOLVED WORKSFORME

(Core Graveyard :: Java-Implemented Plugins, defect)

Description

[David A. Cobb]

Go to the cited page, click on PLAY NOW

Mozilla gets as far as "Loading from [varies].pogo.com", and the Java Console
shows "Starting Applet."  And it never gets any further.

The Evil Empire Browser loads it up and plays just fine.  

I don't know how to tell whether its badly written non-portable
MS-java-with-gotchas, or we have a problem.

Confirming with Linux 1.0 build. Java 1.3.1

(I also see http headers on the page - that may be due to bug 82948.)
