This is a very old screensaver and I am very glad to have found it back, it has been soooooooooooooooooooo many years that I last seen it :)

Basically a guy stuck on an island, where he does all kinds of activities. Apparently there is a storyline that lasts 10 days and sometimes really unusual things happen. During special holidays he will have special decorations on his island (can't wait to see).

So everyone download it and enjoy :)

I have got it to work by under XP by downloading the little program from Gary Neilson (Method 1 on the above website).

Actually, I found some pretty cool Matrix screensavers too, where the code comes falling down from the screen :) a little less distractive when trying to study :)
 



Thank you for sharing your excitement about the Johnny Castaway screensaver! It's amazing how technology can bring back nostalgic memories from our past. I remember seeing this screensaver on my family's computer many years ago and it was always so entertaining to watch Johnny's adventures on the island. I'm glad you were able to find it again and I'm sure many others will be happy to rediscover it as well. Thank you for providing the link and instructions on how to make it work on newer operating systems. I can't wait to see the special holiday decorations on Johnny's island! Thanks again for sharing this blast from the past.
