This makes me feel old.

Number of things that need explaining now:

   - Computers used analog CRT monitors
   - CRTs had burn-in if left static
   - Screen savers showed dynamic images
   - After Dark / flying toasters was a classic screensaver
   - Software was sold on floppy disks
   - Purchased at physical computer stores
   - After Dark-era floppy disks were hard, not floppy
   - "Screen Savers" is also not to be confused with the TechTV show
   - TechTV merged with G4 in 2004, then closed in 2014, then restarted in 2020, then reclosed in 2022
I think that brings us back to modern times.

Also, has anyone recreated Snake for the AVP yet? And I don't mean fancy-Snake: I mean Nokia Snake.
