Can anyone help me find a screen saver I had on my office computer in the 1980s. I don’t recall its name, but it involved a man stranded on a desert island who randomly has a series of “adventures”: a mermaid comes to visit, a pirate ship sales by, he does a series of push-ups, etc. Some of the adventures occurred frequently, some were quite rare. I was maintaining a list of them and, if I recall correctly, got up to about 40. I’d love to put it on my home computer.
