Fifth Generation: Pyro! Screen Saver

[olePigeon]

Rescued this mint condition historic screen saver from Weird Stuff fro $5. One of the first screen savers for the Mac.

Just discovered this, a guy who converted the original Pyro! to OS X.

Edit: Doesn't look like it works with Intel OS X.

Nice find... on both counts. I love pyro!

I think that pyrotheque supports Intel (snow leopard doesn't run on g4, does it?)

From the website:

1.2.0 (17-Jan-10):

Snow Leopard support.

Checkbox to disable the startup screen.

installed Pyro! this weekend on the 180, from the old floppy... had it on my plus many years ago

Maybe it doesn't support current MacBook Pros. The fancy fireworks are messed up on my computer. Looks like a bug in OpenGL.

Looks fine on my MBP, with Lion installed.

Hmm. 10.8 here as well. What's supposed to be a spark is large square. Oh well.
