I’ve enjoyed your “Top Screen Savers…” lists, and wanted to let you know of a new screen saver I thought you might enjoy.
I don’t know if you’ve seen the scrolling pictures screen saver that comes with Windows Media Center 7, but it’s really nice looking. I was disappointed that I couldn’t find the same thing outside of MC7, so I wrote a similar one myself. You can find out more and download the screen saver at http://www.photoscroll.net.
Thanks again for providing such a great resource!

Late in the game 🙂
I’d like to suggest the Juggle Saver screensaver which you can find at http://www.jugglesaver.co.uk/. It’s great.
You’ve written nice post, I am gonna bookmark this page, thanks for info. I actually appreciate your own position and I will be sure to come back here.

Sun Village & The Lost Watch are made by 3planesoft not NVIDIA. That isn’t a 3rd party application it’s thier screensaver manager for all the screen savers they’ve made.
You state that Sun Village is one of the most complex Screensavers you’ve seen so far and that Nvidia developed it…Wrong…
It was developed by 3planesoft. Go to their site for proof.

I’m one of the contributors to Mamesaver, a Windows-based MAME (arcade emulator) screensaver which plays random MAME games at at specified intervals.
We’re super excited to announce the release of version 2.0.1 which, apart from a few licks of paint and a bunch of bug fixes, introduces multi-monitor support, hotkeys (so you can jump in and play games!), in-game information, customisable fonts, better power management, and better game management.
Yes, my favorite is an old screensaver called starmessage

My all-time favourite screensaver is without a doubt Kaleider. Second is Zen Light, third is Zen Mandelbrot. I quite like the free Drempels screensaver, set at max blur. JuliaSaver is free too, and cool, especially if you have some nice colour maps for it. Then there is a hidden gem, the screensaver built in with the free Capow cellular automata program.
All of these require fiddling with the settings until you have a setting you like.
This is a screensaver I wrote and it’s freeware. The Rotating Object Saver screensaver (https://rotatingobjectscreensaver.on.drv.tw/Website/index.htm) has about 40 different built-in screensavers (including many rotating objects). It can also display most .obj model files and play background music (.mid or .mp3) files. I haven’t had much feedback but it has some illustrations on the website and a fairly comprehensive user guide. I suppose it’s not much by today’s standards but (because it can be configured easily) hopefully may be acceptable.

Mamesaver is open source and can be downloaded from https://github.com/mika76/mamesaver/releases
We’d love it if you could consider adding Mamesaver to your list.
Note that the screensaver does depend on an installation of MAME (also open source) and some game ROMs.
Thank you very much !
My favorite screensaver is Solar System – Earth 3D: http://www.screensavers-store.com/planet-earth-3d-screensaver.shtml

PS I should have mentioned that my top three choices are not free.
Thanks for sharing your list. 😀

Electropaint. It started on SGI computers but was made freeware for PCs.
