I always pretended I was playing it, ala Wolfenstein 3D.

No Flying Toasters?

This reminds me of Hover from Windows 95. Only game I ever played back then.

Have fun!

The maze has nothing on Johnny Castaway

My 5th grade teacher had that on her computer and my friends and I spent a large portion of our time in class wondering if he was ever going to get off that damned island.

I will never forgive microsoft for getting rid of this - I remember staring mesmerised at this 256-color beast.

miba · 8 months

wasnt there an option to make it look real psychedelic?

or did i just change the textures or something...

nurdboy42 · 8 months

This would be better in GIF form

Lunatic Fringe in After Dark was mine.

Edit: Actually, After Dark in general was pretty boss.

So... Many... Turns...

Ron_Jeremy · 8 months

Ubuntu a few releases back had one that was a copilation of different OS's respective blue screens of death. Loved that one. Can't find it anywhere.

slouched · 8 months

haha i remember when i was little i called it the wolfenstein screensaver

Jarl_Walnut · 8 months

Fuck, this was a screensaver? I remembered this as a game....

electromage · 8 months

I'm going to build this in Minecraft!

Aviator8989 · 8 months

This gets ultra confusing when you change the floor, walls, and ceiling textures all to sand.

Brutalitarian · 8 months

My screensaver, 1998 - 2012 and running.

Download Link Windowx XP only

SPOILER ALERT It always follows the left wall.

Edit: It apparently works on Win 7? Snap

mystictheory · 8 months

The source code (released with Visual C++ 5.0). Also has 3d flying objects, flowerbox, pipes and text 3d.

okaufman · 8 months

I miss this shit

ESAsher · 8 months

For some reason I always found this somewhat scary. I was always afraid something would jump out.

lamp37 · 8 months

screen saver? shit, I guess that's why my maze game always exited when I tried to play it..

Sovenaderp · 8 months

I would always get frustrated when the end poppedup right in front of it and it for some reason chose to turn away from it.

Also that rat scaredthe shit outta me first time isaw it as a kid.

craberombie · 8 months

Is it just me or did anyone else expect to run into David Bowie?

bulletbullet · 8 months

What was this game called? Also, has anyone got a link where i can play it? :D

Sequoioideae · 8 months

Did anybody else ever spend a lot of time trying to find the game version of this maze on their PC, the one that didn't exist?

TheMagicUpvoteFairy · 8 months

They really DO need to bring it back.

kafaldsbylur · 8 months

I used to set all textures to a bunch of random white pixels on a black background and use this as a more awesome Starfield screensaver

Supernova232 · 8 months

I was convinced I was in control of it for awhile when I was a kid, good times.

pacoliketaco · 8 months

Love you for posting this. Back when watching the screen saver was actually enjoyable.

coderascal · 8 months

Every single time I saw this I had an uncontrollable urge to play Wolfenstein 3D.

thethreadkiller · 8 months

This is what taught me how to get out of a maze if I ever am trapped in one.

Cras · 8 months

I can't get erection from screen burn-in.

levalz · 8 months

It just constantly turns left!

ghostbackwards · 8 months

From the thumbnail it first made me think of that level in Contra.

Nuggs95 · 8 months

Good times

HDlowrider · 8 months

When this becomes a game meet me by this spot a 4PM.

scrambles57 · 8 months

I felt claustrophobic when watching this.

JamZor64 · 8 months

This reminds me of Wolfenstein 3D.

spunkush · 8 months

when i was little, i would spend so much time watching that (we didnt have any computer games)

whirliscope · 8 months

Why isn't this a gif?

Crackmouse · 8 months

I had the dancing baby, that was awesome!

talontachyon · 8 months

Todd Rundgren's Flowfazer for the Mac was my all time favorite. I've seen something close on a Sun workstation but nothing on a Windows computer. If someone has seen something close, please let me know.

futuregeneration · 8 months

Correction

Bugloaf · 8 months

You used to be able to change the walls, the floor, and the ceiling to bitmap pictures. There was a Windows95 wallpaper that was a wood-framed window looking into some pine trees. I cut out the frame in MSPaint, and used that for my walls. Then, I used a cobblestone wallpaper for the floor, and the cloudy sky wallpaper for the ceiling. When the maze flipped, I imagined I was walking on my hands.

Kruse · 8 months

Windowstein 3D.

Whenthenighthascome · 8 months

I like the stars one better

soghey · 8 months

I'm sad this wasn't a gif.

stndmunki · 8 months

This screensaver always reminded me of the Goosebumps: Escape from horrorland PC game when you are in the tunnels getting chased by some kind of monster AKA NOPE!

for those that never experienced it.

elmarko44 · 8 months

Reminds me of Wolfenstein 3D.

Emperor_Norton_1 · 8 months

coolness, thanks.

dustycfasho · 8 months

I use to watch this in class as a 3rd grader. It got me through the day.

icoversongs · 8 months

I posted this exact same picture 3 months ago (check my post history). Guess my title wasn't as good.

Oh the arbitrary gods of reddit.

chilllay · 8 months

One of the few reasons I miss my old Windows computer. Mac's need to get their shit together.

sigaven · 8 months

best screen saver of all time.

istillfeelyou · 8 months

Man, I sucked at that game.

Notnowwonton · 8 months

did anyone else try pressing start?

tek0011 · 8 months

What about After Dark. Best.

IWannaBeTheGuy · 8 months

I was JUST talking about this! sometimes it feels like reddit reads my mind.

segwaytrain · 8 months

There was a registry entry where you could add more rats to the maze

Thwacky · 8 months

On the contrary, I hated this screensaver, because it would make me motion sick if I watched it too long.

Same problem I have with first-person view games. I have to take Dramamine to play Skyrim. :(

missavanna · 8 months

Idgi :'c

440Music · 8 months

Johnny castaway. That is all.

shamecamel · 8 months

would someone actually play a video game that was a maze, like this?

only with, say, better graphics and challenges within it like sphinxes and enemies to run away from and items to find and shit like that?

RiderRockon · 8 months

I used to make custom textures for all the surfaces. Started out with little 32x32 pixel images and scale up/smooth out and redo. I had some pretty rad labyrinths back then.

Bengy465 · 8 months

When I was younger I played a game in school that was kind of like this screen saver. It had enemies that you had to shoot with these guns and if they hit you green slime would be on your screen in your way. Anyone know what I'm talking about? I've been wondering what it's called for years now. This was about 12+ years ago.

andrewsmith1986 · 8 months

Mine.

digitalmediamaster · 8 months

Screen saver? That was a game!

Johnnyzero · 8 months

This post is a weekly event nowadays

Quizchris · 8 months

If I had posted this, I would have received a barrage of comments from people screaming at me to post this in r/nostalgia... Just sayin'

chitown15 · 8 months

ThatStromboli · 8 months

My favorite Repost

zetversus · 8 months

Is it playable yet? Call me when it is.

godless_communism · 8 months

This is a lot like being nostalgic about a dried up old dog turd.
