The Powder Toy

Looking for first ever Powder 1.0

    I found what I THOUGHT was it here http://web.archive.org/web/20090122174827/http://powder.unaligned.org/ on the Internet Archive. In fact it is so old that it shares the exact same name as the similar Javascript online game, the name "Powder Game" (the online version of which I'm guessing is a derivative work using Javascript instead of C).

    So apparantly there was at one point a Powder offline game (as opposed to the current online version) actually called that same name "Powder Game". I found what I thought was a download link for it here again at Internet Archive http://web.archive.org/web/20090303040804/http://powder.unaligned.org/powder.zip and also here http://web.archive.org/web/20090303040804/http://powder.unaligned.org/powder-win32.zip but the problem is that it doesn't work. Archive.org aparantly did NOT ARCHIVE those zip files, which are the OLDEST KNOWN copies of the Powder series of games. For nostalgic sake I'm trying to find the ORIGINAL 1.0 version of the Powder games. Someone please help me get a copy. I know it's a tall order as even archive.org (which usually has EVERYTHING, seems to be missing this), but I'd like it if someone can help me find the original version of Powder or Powder Toy or Powder Game or whatever it was called way back then. Please help me.

    Here's a few corrections, Java not JavaScript. powder.unaligned originally was built be Skylark for a simple download, register area, and information. Powder Game and Powder Toy are completely separate programs and therefor you should be looking for Powder Toy. Also there is no way to get 1.0 because there was a PSP home brew and a simple version with few elements. TPT was an air simulator and had dust added, but unfortunately there is no existing copy for distribution.

    EDIT: The site and server was cleared because according to Skylark, he didn't know much about the server's script and PHP.

    What does the Home Brew have anything to do with it?

    Because there are still few copies of this for PSP that have never been altered from the last distribution. So if you have a PSP it might work if you know what HomeBrew is.

    Here's my oldest copy:

    Yep, the first TPT version was created because Simon's predecessor couldn't play PG on his computer XD

    Ha, two walls and a few elements. Stone Age! LOL
    Wait, would this work with a home brewed PSP?
