Macintosh Garden - Screen Savers

Pyro!

Daxeria — Fri, 25 Jul 2014 13:17:39 +0000

Application file:

This pack includes four versions of the Pyro! screensaver, charting its growth from a simple fireworks display bundled with Software Supply's other products to a boxed 35-module extravaganza.

Dan Sandler has written an OS X remake as well as a brief history of Pyro!

The little-known DOS port, "Pyro! PC", would make a nice extra here if it ever turns up.

(v1.0, v3.3.1, v4.0, v4.1)

Compatibility:

Ironically, the close-to-the-metal programming that kept Pyro! so efficient and co-operative on real hardware causes emulators to crash.

ViewSonic Display Suite

Nicolas Bahamondes — Thu, 17 Jan 2013 21:26:36 +0000

Application file:

viewsonic.zip

This is a CD-ROM released by ViewSonic in 1998, it included color schemes for use in Microsoft Windows along with a ViewSonic CRT display.

But the CD-ROM is not Windows-only! It's an Hybrid one, it included the ViewSaver™, a collection of still images for use as screensavers by the user.

The screensavers looks good, give it a try. Compatible with Mac OS 9!

This CD-ROM was found a long time ago by me when I was cleaning a Restaurant.

Compatibility:

For Mac OS 7.5 and above. Requires a PowerPC processor. (Weird, citing the package).
For Windows 3.1 or 95.
