Back in the early '90s, Berkeley Systems partnered with Disney to release a special edition of After Dark. And I recently purchased a new-old-stock copy, so let's check it out!

I suddenly remembered to have seen at least 3 screensavers, not only Donald, but also the castle and haunted. I started using Windows with 3.1, so it fits in. It must have been rather popular by that time... Thanks for the sweet memory! Actually these screensaver were really the top by that time standards, the idea of seeing Donald painting the desktop looked like magic, it was not so nerdy as how would appear today. Also, thanks for remembering how easy that O/S used to crash 😀

This REALLY made me want to do more than just run win98 on a VM. It's so cool to see a rando pen in the package. Literally a product of it's time. Rose-tinted glasses aside, there are some companies that still do this to keep the details alive but it's just not a thing in today's efficient market mentality. Anyway, I should go look for a 98 compatible PC now and upgrade an ssd into it.

I love those old screen savers! I'm trying to give my pc a bit of a retro touch, so I'm trying to hunt up some of the ones I loved. You should do Johnny Castaway and that one with the talking dolphin-like alien that you could teach, if you get a chance. Or how about some of the old "make your own screensaver" software?

If there could've been some more screensavers in this package, what Disney properties would you have wanted? Provide we limit ourselves to the shows and movies that existed back then (sadly, no "Zootopia" or "Inside Out", though they deserve *their own* sets), my list includes - Horace Horsecollar The Lion King Bambi Aladdin Epcot Center (Figment of the imagination) The Hunchback of Notre Dame the Nightmare Before Christmas Robin Hood the Reluctant Dragon The Many Adventures of Winnie the Pooh Dumbo (classic version) Pete's Dragon The Wuzzles Adventures of the Gummi Bears Chip 'n' Dales' Rescue Rangers Bonkers
