I think this screen saver is the bees knees, mutts nuts, the polecats purple plonker.... Yes it is only single screen, but my god! what a screen, its fantastic :)

Occasionally...just occasionally...it is totally worth it to actually read the Terms and Conditions. "In no event shall the author be liable for any damages whatsoever (including, without limitation, damages for loss of business profits, business interruption, loss of business information, or other pecuniary loss) arising out of the use of or inability to use this software or documentation, even if the author has been advised of the possibility of such damages, so there." 10/10 you clever, sassy artist. Props to both you and your amazing screen saver.

Really nice idea, thank you!

GREAT!!! I just LOVE IT!!!

doesn't install; appears a message "the drive or unc share you selected doesn't exist

BLUE VERSION HAS FINALLY BEEN ADDED TO THE SITE! Just search "retro".

cool

win 10 64 bit - not working

Screensaver Filename: RetroSciFi_122.exe

VirusTotal: 0

Score: 3.5 / 5

Tested on: 2019-01-09

Operating System: Windows 10 Pro (full updated) Nice screensaver and VirusTotal detect nothing.

Thanks !

OK, same its not multiscreen.

Installed on windows 10, not problems (works straight out of screen saver controls inc preview). Still looking for something to beat the 2 screen HAL 9000 screen saver!

Funny, and working on Windows 10

It is in an EXE. format. Oooh, I don't know!

Not working in W10 :(

do not support multiple monitors

It works great in Windows 7 Ultimate 64 . Am going to try it on 10 .

The three word randomness that comes up near the top is funny .

"Error in modMakeRandomWord.LoadArray: 5 invalid procedure call or arguement"

Anybody knows how to fix this problem? I really want to us it

Great Screensaver - Easy To Install - Really Good Retro - Thanks

I love this screen saver. I have a 32 inch monitor that lives in my living room to serve as both my computer and my TV. This provides a fun background when its inactive.

Instillation was easy, it took a like 5 minutes after install to start working (loading the cache or something I'm sure). I would install again.

good screen saver

Very cool. Looks nice.

awesome

Very cool screensaver. If you let it run for a certain amount of time it starts to turn color.

very nice hightech

Nice

Absolutely fantastic time & effort has gone into this cool-as screensaver, well done bro!

To "Eric" who says this does not run in extended desktop mode...I found out by mistake that it can "integrate" with the screensaver you already have set in place: I have W7 Ultimate x64, and I have the Green MATRIX set already, but if you go open the retro and hit the "Preview" mode you'll find that the Matrix still kicks in at the set time you've configured it to run, but this awesome RETRO scrensaver will also run on your "Primary" desktop monitor the moment you hit the "Preview" button...if you get my drift Eric?! Have a play & you'll see what I mean m8. 10 out of 10 Andy Fielding - Shot Bro & many thanks for your primo effort & FX Amigo! 2).

Yep definitely works with the MATRIX screensaver set as the default scr & just use the "Preview" mode for the RETRO Screensaver to have multiple monitor display MATRIX and the RETRO will display on your primary monitor! - but not any other screensaver will work in this mix. I see someone else on W7 x64 says here it dont work on their system ... well I only know whats happening here on my OS sorry. Also ... I have not seen the black & white colour change mentioned - only green all the way in Preview-mode ... damn this rocks! "Kei Runga Nö Atu Andy Fielding! (It's All Good Bro). Andy Fielding.

Totally Rad! Gnarly to the bone Cheesters! Can't wait to make my i7/64GB/5TB system look like my Commodore 64!

Really neat! I just wished it was in color all the time. Anyway to make that happen? This is the coolest screensaver I have ever seen.

If it would stay in color, that would be something I would pay money for !

This is actually pretty amazing! I feel like it's the StarCraft menu all over again haha, props to the creator Andy Fielding!

I like it, looks sweet with my alienware r13 with the green keyboard backlight, also i got windows 10 and preview works just fine, no problems

good

Works on Windows 10 64-bit. Only the preview won't work.

Awesome,.....really

Absolutely amazing!

It's cool to look at. I noticed that there are some items that "go offline"... I can tell a lot of work was put into it to make it work the way it does. One question: I was going to make an application execute the screen saver but I couldn't figure out where the screen saver (.scr) file is. I can find a couple others that I installed but I don't know where this one installed to. Screensavers Planet: If you have a 64-bit version of Windows, you can find it under C:\Windows\SysWOW64, where the file is named RetroSciFi.scr. On 32-bit versions of Windows, it is probably installed into the C:\Windows\system32 folder.

Personally, I don't feel that the snapshots do this one justice. It makes my computer feel like a data console on a futuristic starship.

Very nice, but only works on one monitor if you have multiple display (I have 4)

kool

I love Retro Sci fi :D It's the best

Where can I find the blue version?! D:

excelent

OK as has been said DOES work in Windows 10, only that the preview does not work. This stopped me persevering with it initially.

+1 for Monastic Cuttlefish Availability, that gave me a good chuckle for a while!

blue version works in Win10 64bit, love it! Preview didn't work but the actual screensaver does

Does not work on Win 7 x64. Gives a weird run error (in a pop up window).

Simple but awesome

Looks and works great, works in Windows 10, not filled with malware. What more could you want?

Love it easy install, I'm a total sci fi geek and this is awesome.
