Hilarious Castaway-Themed Screensaver Makes for Hours of Fun!
Screensavers do what they say on the tin: the moving pixels of the screensaver prevent static images getting burned onto the monitor itself. As such they're a necessary part of the computer software. The problem is there is a lack of truly entertaining screensavers but that has changed with Gnudawn's free Johnny Castaway Screensaver. Users who find themselves idly watching this screensaver are amazed by Johnny's seemingly endless antics!
Johnny's Pastimes
Johnny is a castaway on a small desert island he keeps himself entertained with numerous hobbies including sleeping reading fishing lighting a fire and building a raft.In the Johnny Castaway Screensaver many of these activities have variations: when fishing Johnny often catches a fish an octopus and a boot occasionally he's carried out to sea by a shark. When sleeping he's occasionally tied up by pirates. This screensaver has enough variations to provide a source of endless fascination for computer users.

Many of them contact the developer with new variations they have spotted and 'Johnny watching' has become a hobby for many.

Johnny Castaway is a fun, engaging, and thought provoking screensaver..
I started computing with Johnny on my desktop. He was marooned there for years and entertained our family with his antics. I loved the little scenes and am glad to get him back. Download here I come.
Pros:
Variety of scenes

More things that float over to him. More

Please update binary of this great screensaver.
It was great when I was running Windows 98. There were so many surprises throughout the year as he lived out his life on this island. Wish it was recompiled for newer OS's More

Brilliant programming it is a shame it is no longer available.
I remember this from years ago. It is the best and most amusing screensaver ever developed. It is a shame that one doesn't see these on a regular basis any more. The developers at the time were brilliant! More

My favorite screensaver EVER!.
I so love this screensaver! It's like watching a movie, and he still surprises me after having it for a year. I had to remove my last version due to a threat, so I hope it won't happen with this one. Disappointed it won't be updated anymore! More
