Skeleton Adventures – More Than Just a Screensaver
O. James Samson - November 8, 2006If you want a screensaver that is more than just a screensaver, you might want to consider getting this one, Skeleton Adventures. It has an incredibly rich 3D environment. Getting this screensaver is not like getting most screensavers; you are invited to join the adventures of Sly Slim while he passes time at his home in Shale County Cemetery. Believe me, it’s really cool, its like a movie on your desktop, but one with an ever changing ending.
Though it’s really cool, you’ll need to purchase the full version to enjoy the best of it. But before you commit your cash to it, you can check out the free demo download HERE.
One problem is that it’s really bulky. The graveyard settings may also put you off if you don’t appreciate such stuff. Let’s face it , great animation or no animation, not everybody would want to have a skeleton in a graveyard adventure as a screensaver.
But all in all to those who don’t mind, it’s really cool. The animation, the effects, all make it a must have. This is not just a screensaver, it’s more than a screensaver.
If you download it and you have problems with the playback (if it is very jerky and sometimes stops) make sure you have a good video card and turn up all the accelerator settings.
Because video cards sometimes combine the on board RAM with your PCs RAM, you may need to check under the Troubleshooting section of the Advanced properties on your video card to make sure “Enable Write Combining” is unchecked. You should get a better and smoother playback after confirming this.
NOTE: It is only compatible with Windows 2000 and above.

… I did not used to care about screensavers, this one changed – first time I watched by the end! Great staff, hope they will continue inserting new scenes, the one with “playing guitar” and “dancing” is just great! Welldone!

This is a great screensaver, and well worth its price! I’ve been using it more often than any other screensaver I currently have installed. 😀
