After Dark screen savers

After Dark was so legit.

They had had all the ads on modules too. Star Trek, Simpsons, MAD, etc

Flying Toasters is a legend, and remember Lunatic Fringe? That screensaver was a FULL GAME. You can actually find a decent port of it out there called Fringe Player.

Oh and on screensavers, not AD but remember Organic Art? Hypnotic gold.

I think it’s memories related to old games, but not quite sure.

It’s reminds me of the old Blade Runner game.

I actually scrolled past it then got an intense urge to revisit it as it sparked an emotion

I have a lot of nostalgia for things I couldn't possibly have experienced and I'm not sure why.

Happens with more than just art. I have distinct memories of things that never happened. Like being in a dark, Japanese hotel room on a rainy day. I've recalled that at least since I was 12 nearly 25 years ago. I'd never seen anything that would evoke such a memory. Maybe it was a dream I had, but I don't know why I would have been dreaming about Japanese hotels as a kid. Brains are weird.

Same. I get the same feeling from the work of /u/aleha_84. Has a very similar vibe.

Same here, reminds me of an easier time when I could just play any number of pixel based games with nothing else to think about.

It'd feel more nostalgic with old sodium lamps. Especially if the flickering one had that purple tinge.
