12 0 ReplyI found a few of these old screensavers and another one which lets you have a random selection between like 10 of them. It all still works on Windows 11
Starfield, 3d pipes and flying toasters are amongst the selection, I couldn't seem to get Jonny castaway working unfortunately

Hey, my Matrix code screensaver ca. 2002 was the shit. Granted, I probably got three different viruses downloading it for three hours over our landline.

Homer Simpsons eating my screen was the peak of screen savers.
Though, I guess it wasn't much of a 'saver' if it was being eaten...

As an out-of-the-loop 90s-enthusiast, this is exactly what I think of when all these kids on my lawn keep going on about Starfield.

I'd rather play Flying Toasters personally.
5 0 ReplyMicrosoft is also bundling Starfield the game just as they did the screensaver. Included in Game Pass and you can play the PC version on GeForce Now.
I just found that funny.

5 0 ReplyDude, I haven't used a screen saver since 98SE, although I live in a country where we do utilize things like nuclear, wind, solar and hydroelectric
