Troubleshooting
Mac: If you get a warning that says the game "is damaged and can't be opened" you can fix this by removing the game from quarantine. To do this open Terminal and type in "xattr -r -d com.apple.quarantine " followed by the file location of the game (you can also do this by dragging and dropping the game into Terminal. This is an example of what you might enter into Terminal:
xattr -r -d com.apple.quarantine /Users/macoscatalina/Desktop/Fig\ 's\ First\ Flight.app
After this, hit enter and the game should work fine. However, make sure you drag the game file out of the dmg onto your desktop or applications folder before you attempt the above steps.
Windows: If Windows labels the game as an 'unrecognised app' don't worry, the game won't harm your computer in any way. To get past this click 'more info' and then 'run anyway'.
