- Battle screen saver 1.6. Let Them Die!!! — One of the coolest features about the old science fiction movies was space battle. Those naive but grandiose battlefields, thousands of different spaceships, huge asteroid-like battle-cruisers and small nimble fighters, explosion flashes and laser traces… Yes, those battles sometimes do return in the modern movies (for ex., the «new» Star Wars trilogy is quite a good one), but still they were born in 1980’s, with Star Trek and the…
- AIT_Trains 1.8. Train on the Trains — AIT_Trains I want to talk about today is a dangerous thing.

So, read on only if you are positive that you can stand the temptation. OK, several words about the game’s plot. You have your…

- Fairy Christmas Day 3D Screensaver 1.0, Saving Screen, Saving Mood — Screen-savers became popular in the good old days when they addressed an important, even vital, problem of — you’ll laugh! — saving the screen.

Those sad times are long gone, and nowadays screensavers are just an entertainment: when you aren’t using your computer, why should it look like a boring workplace…
- WeiserWare Screen Saver Manager, Never Recurring Beauty — The job is done, and you won’t need the computer for a while.
