Title: Space Invaders Screensaver
Post by: moonchilddave on August 14, 2009, 10:16:49 am

I used to have this fairly cool screensaver that was based around Space Invaders... the background would change on occasion and the invaders were lined up forming the time.  Due to a lightning strike on my system, I've had to replace things and reload - and now I can't find the screensaver on the net.  Anyone know where to find it?

Also, what other screensavers do people use?  I'm not talking about one's provided by the frontend, but ones that are made for Windows  I'd also love to find a Donkey Kong themed one as that is kind of the theme I'm going with on the cabinet.

There's TB_Screensaver that can run mame games as a screensaver. Pretty flexible. I use it on my mame cab, but it would work well on a desktop system too. Also I have an awesome pacman ghost wallpaper that someone here made.

I found it again... It's by RogueSynapse.  They also have a few others available like Space Wars, Umbrella Corporation Screensaver, Bishop Of Battle Screensaver, and Ghost in the Windows Screensaver.  You can download them at http://www.roguesynapse.com/downloads.php
