Privateer Day: Another Screensaver (June 3, 2011)

[Bandit LOAF]

Don't have Windows 3.1 running? Want a comparatively modern Privateer screensaver? Former Origin designer Captain Johnny created one! 3D Wing Commander ships fly around the screen... all while Privateer music plays! Grab a copy here (300k). It is eleven years old, so all bets are off as to whether or not it will run in modern Windows.

I don't know for certain with vista or windows 7, but in windows xp, all you have to do is extract it to your windows folder and it shows up automatically on your screensaver list.

Just installed it on Windows 7 64-bit. Runs just fine. Just drop it in the C:\Windows\WOW64\ folder (you'll have to have administrative rights to place anything in this folder), and you're good to go.

Takes me back to the days of "After Dark"...

Yup, works in Windows 7. You don't have to put it in a subfolder though. It'll pick it up from the Windows directory.
