Remember the Marine Aquarium Screensaver from the early 2000s on your Windows computer? It’s also called the SereneScreen Marine Aquarium, and was first released in July 2000 by developer Jim Sachs. Well, this piece of software has quite the interesting story.
We won’t dive too deep into the back story, but Sachs was the lead artist on the famous Amiga computer game Defender of the Crown from Cinemaware. He’s also the author of the Commodore 64 game Saucer Attack, in which he stated was “the Commodore 64 game everyone had, but no one purchased”. Yes, the Marine Aquarium Screensaver still exists today, and on Mac as well.

I remember begging my dad to buy me that 2002 version at Walmart because I thought it was a full aquarium sim game and 8 year old me was surely disappointed when I got home with it. Over the next few months I started to really love it and found myself watching the screensaver quite a lot. Now it’s one of my favorite childhood PC memories,” said one commenter.
