Also Lunatic Fringe - somehow and for some reason a full top down space shoot-em-up in After Dark. Probably for office workers to play, I do recall there was a "boss mode" that pulled up a fake spreadsheet or something.
They're there. Installable from within the program.
Of course, the target market of computer users was way smaller than it is today.
The After Dark screensavers are on the internet archive, but obviously they look and run like crap since they're made for Windows 3.x to maybe 95/98.
I would think if this mac After Dark project is open source, the assets would be available to use in other software.

Thought about doing it as a Linux screensaver, but I didn't have the patience to actually wait for the idle time, and that way I can share it with my non-Linux-using family.
That's a fine line being walked there. If they are worried about rights issues and not including the bundles, this seems like a risky FU by building this feature in directly. The part about using bundles you may have without asking questions of origin is fine. Otherwise, why not just include the bundles?

If you are idle for too long, the flying toasters / screensaver kicks in.
Someone went through the film 2001: A Space Odyssey and re-created all of the computer screens, with animation.
It was a masterpiece of mid-century design and space-age optimism.
IIRC, the author got a cease-and-desist demand, and was left to languish and die when Macs went 64-bit only.
general idea, rip the 4k vids from YT and use a video screensaver app
