My favorites were the "Totally Twisted" screen savers from Berkeley Systems - particularly the "Voyer" screen saver where you saw the silhouettes of all the people in their apartments doing crazy things at night.

I liked the daredevil, trying to jump schoolbuses and stuff with his motorbike. Once in a blue moon, he'd be driving a schoolbus trying to jump other stuff.

What's funny is that these screensavers were _expensive_, and thus people pirated them. I remember the most active warez BBS in area had a whole file section dedicated to screensavers.

One of the reasons I turned to open source is that I did pay for most the After Dark series and they all disappeared when Seirra? bought them out and shelved the company. That really killed any interest in commercial software for me.
