Sort of a novelty item but fun for us that are old enough to remeber flying toasters.

That means Totally Twisted will work.

After Dark was the sh*t at its time. Now the screensavers are built-in to all OSes.

I still know the whole flying toasters song:

Flying out of the sun
The smell of toast is in the air
When there's a job to be done
the flying toasters will be there…

…okay I'l stop

That song was pretty dumb.

Ahhh, I'm not real old, but I do remember flying toasters. Man, I remember the first time I saw COLOUR flying toasters! Mind-blowing!

I sepnt AUD$50 on After Dark when I was a kid... it was the best thing ever

After Dark.. That brings back so many memories!

"Flying out of the sun

That song rocked!

...and it's flap! flap! flap!
Salvation from the sky....
the something, something, yeah.... (help me out here!)
we flap in to save the day
on flying toaster wiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiings!

Now they need an Out and About and Lunatic Fringe module....

(PS- Lunatic Fringe was, is, and will forever be, one of the greatest games of all time)

This'll refresh your memory.

Lunatic Fringe was good. I liked it when you got the super ball coming out in three streams. I spent hours on that too.

You forget the You Bet Your Head gameshow. I eventually memorized all the questions.

My favorite is Mowing Boris from totally twisted.

I agree 100%. I used to play LF for hours on my old LC. It was my flight training for EV, EVO, and EVN.

Good times..

Brings back good memories of my first LCIII!

Now if they would bring Creepy Castle to OS X

rainman::|:| · Sep 21, 2002, 01:59 PM

you can't see it in preview mode, but space toasters is really friggin' cool... all kinds of interesting toasters... a congo line, toasters mating i think, a hula-hooping toaster, rudolph the red-nosed toaster, even one that is almost bondi-colored... i have found my new screensaver!

Durandal7 · Sep 22, 2002, 12:37 AM

You noticed the toasters mating too? Don't forgot all the exciting kinds of toast and waffles that come flying past. Some of the toasters dive bomb and I've even seen them get into traffic jams.

mc68k · Sep 22, 2002, 01:31 AM

hs toaster pr0n, now i'm in

cleo · Sep 24, 2002, 04:28 PM

Sweet! Happy cleo, happy cleo.

My favorite was the marbles one...where they'd fall and pile up... and occasionally there would be the smiley face marble that would get mad when other marbles fell on him.

And Lunatic Fringe was the BEST!

i know exactly what you are talking about. Creepy Castle was the coolest. That was the one where they used old horror movie trivia as sort of an anti piracy thing. you had to answer the questions to start the game. Ahh those were the good old days.

Too bad now we have stupid Quake and stupid Warcraft and stupid Unreal.

When will companies learn that crappy graphics are where it's at?

That makes me think of the original Castle Wolfenstein -- those were the good old days.

Ahh yes...Hitler in a mech...

That was a game that you could just sit back and kill nazis. Who needs a story anyway?
