Ultimately, that makes Serene Screen more than just another piece of software to me and that’s where this fish tale earnestly begins. It may be true that “nobody buys screensavers anymore” but we’re still linked by a friendship catalyzed by long-term fandom. Suddenly, it’s 20 years later and only a few of us diehard fans (and Jim Sachs himself) still congregate in those hallowed forums. I even joined the official fansite – of a screensaver. Serene Screen’s combination of beautiful fish and technology instantly had me hooked. This classic screensaver from the late 90s was created by the legendary artist of Defender of the Crown and more, Jim Sachs. I figured it out a few years and a couple of computers later though, when I stumbled upon the Serene Screen Marine Aquarium. Four years old at the time, and eight years away from getting my first PC, I had no idea what I was missing. Retro computing fans and well-seasoned enthusiasts may remember that the superlative Defender of the Crown first hit the Amiga in 1986. Some may think it strange to design and build an entire PC and custom enclosure dedicated to running a 20-year-old screensaver, but I can explain.
