I need the Star Trek modules, which I recall waiting overnight to pirate from a BBS on my 14.4k. "Do NOT pick up the phone, mom." 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. | |||||||||||||||||

I need this for Windows. 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 need this for Wayland. Maybe when the maintainers discover that joy in computing both exists and can be a worthwhile pursuit. | |||||||||||||||||

"You can also browse and install software releases directly from the Internet Archive without leaving the app. " 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? | |||||||||||||||||

I wish someone would do this for a recently deceased OS X screen saver I loved. 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. | |||||||||||||||||
