Excellent Starcraft Screen Savers

Starcraft Screen Savers

I was browsing around and I came across a few awesome FREE Screensavers. These are in the theme of one of my favourite games, Starcraft.

Yes, I know, I know, I'm a little behind the times and there are dozens of strat games besides Starcraft but I don't care - I still LOVE STARCRAFT!

So, do you want the screensavers or not? They're from the "Mosaic," "Horde," and "Alliance" StarCraft themes.

Okay - first of all, before you go grab your cool Starcraft screensavers, don't freak out about the 'buy' button. I copied code so I could show the cool graphic for each screensaver. The link will take you to a $0.00 download, so you won't pay anything.

Second point before you go download screensavers - if you don't want that silly 'starware' toolbar attached with your download, UNCHECK the square before you download or you'll get that silly toolbar, too...unless of course, you want it, then go ahead and leave the box checked.

Here they are:

Evolution of Video Games on Video

Evolution of Video Games

Here's a great video clip of still shots detailing the evolution of video games systems, starting from 'Spacewar' games and systems like, Magnavox Odyssey - Coleco Telstar - Atari, Nintendo TV console, through several more Atari models to the Nintendo NES and Sega systems...

There are some great shots of the first gameboy models and top loading, side-loading, front-loading and all kinds of consoles, too.

This video is about 7 minutes long. The audio selection sounds very much like one of the old stand-up arcade game soundtracks, but I haven't tracked down information to confirm this yet. Maybe you will recognize where the audio comes from.
