Name: The Simpsons Screensaver
Publisher: Berkeley Systems
Developer: Berkeley Systems
Mac Conversion: Berkeley Systems
Media: 2 3.5 disks
HD Installation: 3.8 megs
Got it for: $0.99, new!
The Simpsons Screensaver was run on my iMac DV SE, 400Mhz machine under OS 9.2.2 with an 8 meg ATI Rage card and 512 megs of ram. It was running with all module options turned to their highest settings and at a screen resolution of 1024X768.
Patches? Just for kicks, let me present the system requirements:

None that I have found....but you will need AD for OS 9.2.2 to run these modules.

After Dark for OS 9.2.2
This is the amazing, modified version of the After Dark control panel. It will *now* work on OS 9.04 to OS 9.2.2 thanks to the amazing Daxeria.

The actual Simpsons modules can be downloaded below:
The Simpsons Screensaver - Size: 1.9 meg

 Macintosh LC computer and above(all 68020 Macintosh computers and up), System 6.0.7 or later(System 7 compatible), 4Mb or Ram, and 5Mb of free hard disk space. Compatible with Apple's PowerPC Macintosh computers.

The "Files" module has a nice desc. of every character on the show.
What's the next best thing to After Dark? After Dark theme packs! The Simpsons is, no doubt, the *best* of the lot when it comes down to it. 15 modules are included with this theme pack, ranging from the amazingly violent Itchy and Scratchy fights to the always hilarious ramblings of Grandpa. You'll crack up to the antics of Homer eating your desktop, Mr. Burns *kicking* your System Folder, Krusty putting on another mediocre performance and so much more(all complete with a wide range of sound bits taken directly out of the show). In addition to the humor, with modules like Files, Simpsons Trivia and How to Draw you'll actually get a lot of extra Simpsons facts out of this set.
Bart will be made to write a variety of things in "Chalkboard".
Getting it to run - If you're simply getting the modules off Mac Gardens, installation is a snap. Just follow the readme(written by myself) and you're good to go. Remember, you *must* have the AD for OS 9.2.2 control panel in order to get the Simpsons modules to work.
For those of you who actually own the disks, installation can be a bit more complicated...but not necessarily that much harder. First you'll need to get the disk's contents onto your Mac. As with most Mac users, if you don't have a disk drive you can always use Acute System's amazingly cool TransMac: An application that allows you to use a PC disk drive to read Mac disks(as the app itself is a bit pricey, I suggest going with the demo version if you're not going to be using it on a regular basis). From there you can transfer the disk's contents(each disk contains one of the installers) to your Mac via email, network/AIM file sharing, etc. Once you have the two installers on your desktop, highlight them both and open them. This will begin the installation process, putting the modules in their correct locations. Caution: Do NOT only click on "Installer 1" as at the end of the process it will ask you to insert disk two(which you cannot do). Also, it's important to note that if you opt for this installation, you will need to re-install AD for OS 9.2.2 as the Simpsons installer will overwrite your AD for OS 9.2.2 control panel(dropping it back to version 3.0 of the AD control panel).

"Excellent..."
Now, for those of you running a Mac under OS 9.0 and below: Once you have the disk's contents on your Mac, follow the directions stated above. Let the installer run, and you're done. Note: Your AD 4.04 control panel won't be affected, and dropped back down to 3.0, like the AD for OS 9.2.2 control panel is.

Grandpa is an absolute riot...
 Still Supported?
Not even remotely. Sierra, who owns the rights to Berkeley Systems' AD series has discontinued support for it completely. Thus, the entire Simpsons set of modules is now considered abandonware and can be downloaded, free of charge.
"How to Draw" has a very cool tutorial on how to draw quite a few of the Simpsons cast members.
My rating: 100(out of 100) - Absolute perfection. Every single module in this theme pack is just simply excellent. They all capture the show's humor so well, and with actual sound clips it's *the* reason not to slap a check in the "Mute AD" box.

Baraka's sleepy thoughts: The Snowball I saver was a bit tasteless....but other than that, it's a great set of modules...

Hey, hey kids!

The familiar "clocks" theme with a Simpsons twist.

Grass Skirts: I have no idea what this one is about...

Homer will actually eat you entire desktop...spitting out the icons he runs across...
Ha ha!
There's loads of carnage to be seen with Itchy and Scratchy.
 PC Dark? OSX Dark!?:
Though it'd be nice if we could all be on a Mac at work, it's just not realistic. One very hip thing about *every* AD screensaver pack(except the smaller, theme packs such as The Simpsons, Star Trek, etc) is that it has both versions on the disc! As long as you are running Windows Me and below, you can run AD at work...it's a nice way to stare blankly at the screen...and look like you're doing something productive. Also a company called EADS has created an collection of 45 modules for users of the PC version of After Dark. The package is called "No Longer Dark: Millennium Edition" and can be downloaded here. The modules consist of a mix of older AD modules(tweaked to work with AD 4.0), modules made by users and modules that were meant to be included in AD add-on packs, but never were. Unfortunately, these modules do not contain the resource compression to allow them to be used with Daxeria's AD for OS 9.2.2 Control Panel. Note: This site also has a very nice "History of After Dark" section...

For those of you with OSX who are feeling a bit left out, fear not. Infinisys, the company who made the Screen Studio application that was packaged with AD Games, has converted AD and a few of its modules for OSX usage! So far, the Flying Toasters, Fish, Mowing Man, Mandlebrot, Starry Night, Warp, Messages, Line Art, Shower, Circles and Fireworks are packed with the new AD X bundle. It sells for a very affordable $10, and makes for an excellent trip down memory lane for those OSX-only users.

Finally, a long while back, before the amazing Daxeria fixed the AD control panel to work with OS 9.2.2, I was reaching out to any Mac programmers that would listen...trying to get someone to take a look into why AD had stopped working with anything past OS 9.
