Aquatic Realm

Part of the After Dark 2.0 collection.

The fish graphics are cute but the animations are limited in this classic module. Though the speed of the module can be turned down by combining with other modules, this saver was replaced by later fish based modules in other After Dark releases and serves little value now. Still, Aquatic Realm should be viewed in its historic context as one of the first "aquarium" based screensaver, a legacy still alive today in modern screensaver releases.


AQUATIC REALM (tm) turns your monitor into a lively undersea environment featuring many colorful marine creatures.

Original concept from Fish! by Tom & Ed's Bogus Software.

Checking "Show Sea Floor" makes this module much more interesting, but a little less of a screen saver.

To hear the watery sounds, use the sound control (if sound capability is available).

Realistic fish artwork by Tomoya Ikeda and Igor Gasowski.
