If you own the game 'Around the World in 80 days', you can get this for free together will all of the screensavers in the series (6 or 7 of them.

If you don't own the game (it was a previous giveaway) you can still get the game for free from MyPlayCity and possibly Gametop. As with all games from such sites ensure all checkboxes are unchecked during installation otherwise you may find your home page has been changed, your search engine has been changed and your browser has a new toolbar. :)

SO many thumbs down... Ludicrous... imnho most are trying to punish GOTD for offering this 'stuff'... (Well except for karla - who knows what she's doing?)

(What is Latin for "NON-buyer beware"?) nywy (anyway) i tried @1 (Whiterabbit-uk)'s suggestion (to the letter (ie reject all offers)) and dnld/inst '80 Days' from MyPlayCity. This is not a 'plug' for Acronis but a VERY SERIOUS WARNING to always use PROTECTION!!!

The MyPlayCity "installer", besides who knows what, put 3972 files (66MB), in 121 folders, w/o asking!!!, under C:\Program Files (x86)\!!! i can not properly express my reaction to this... (Let me put it this way: i don't care how many 'no-flags' i get if it saves a few co-members from MyPlayCity shenanigans...)

Regards to those who "vote" like they are supposed to...

They say: Embark on a captivating journey back to the cradle of Western culture! Find yourself in the heart of glorious Athens, the city worshipped by gods and people. Take a stroll among the majestic marble columns of the Acropolis sparkling under the bright sun of Attica.

Reality check: It's just a picture. The sun comes up, the sun goes down. The moon comes up, the moon goes down. It rains. That's it.

Astro Gemeni have some great screen savers, I have Christmas Eve and Halloween in the Attic from previous GiveAway's. What's up with this one. I deleted it.

'Nuff said.

Installs and runs fine (W7/64) but not my cup of tea. The graphics are not "extremely realistic," the action falls somewhere between static and repetitious, and the music calls to mind an oriental buffet restaurant. Better than the stock Windows 'savers/screen art but not what I want.

I don't know if it "saves" your screen (lol), but for sure it doesn't save energy, because it does 100% use of 1 CPU core for me. Unfortunately, this is a main reason to avoid using this software.

To speak posisive, the best of it's points is the sky emulation (moving clouds/stars/real time option). But the rest is just artistic/surreal and has nothing to do with the theme (Acropolis of Athens). I would prefer to be able to watch the effects over a REAL photo of the Acropolis (even if "photoshoped"), that would be far more interesting.

In my opinion it would be a great idea to have a screesaver in which the user could put a real photo of sth and then enrich it with effects, like for example if the software could recognise and replace the static blue sky with the wonderful sky emulation you have here, etc.

P.S. I live in an appartment about 300 meters near Acropolis, lol. Have a nice day (or night) everyone.
