18 Windows 98 screensavers that everyone who grew up in the 90s remembers (18 GIFs)

No one who started working with computers in the late nineties will forget this labyrinth! And, of course, 17 more screensavers.

18. Playing baseball

Undoubtedly, it was invented at the last minute, as a “let’s do something for sports fans” order. "This is what baseball is supposed to look like, right?"

17. Flying flag

Yes, it's a classic, but a creepy classic. Only computer "beginners" can choose such a screensaver. What does this flag even do? Ranging chaotically across the screen? Let's go to the next screensaver, this one doesn't fit.

16. Grass in the forest

One good thing about this screensaver was that it made your mom squeal, thinking there was a real bug crawling across the screen. If you don't take into account the pleasure of it, who would want to look at insects if there are more pleasant screensavers?

15. Strange scene from the 19th century

Does anyone remember this? What's going on here? Who is this man? None of this makes any sense. The only reason this even made it onto this list is because of the mystery of what's going on.

14. Flying logos

Yes, hundreds of flying logos are better than one flag. It's like a trip inside the head of Bill Gates.

13. Microcircuits

Ah, microcircuits. Nothing particularly interesting happens here, but it was fun to imagine that this is how your computer works.

12. Building blocks

We're looking for the best of the best! Building blocks from who knows what, appearing on the screen until they become completely cluttered - what could be more interesting?

11. Rainforest

The perfect combination of entertainment and education! You never knew what plant or animal was going to appear on the screen next. The screensaver was clearly made by several joker biologists.

10. Whirlpool

It's just a stubborn screensaver, and you were never sure whether it was a screensaver or a problem with the computer.

9. Flying words

Oh yeah. What scope there was for creativity - you could write your name, leave a message to your loved ones, confess your love to your favorite musical group, or just swear. Classic.

8. Rotating lines

Damn, this is a work of art. The constantly intersecting lines and changing colors are incredibly mesmerizing!

7. At the bottom of the ocean

"Ocean" is graphically beautiful, full of life and the closest to reality of all the screensavers. The fact that the screen is black instead of ocean blue only adds to the realism.

6. Drifting Astronaut

It's like the ocean - only space. Better.

5. Travel in a starship

This is one of the best screensavers of all time. You could look at these stars for hours. Have you ever had the feeling that you are flying to discover distant planets and new civilizations?

4. Cube that changes shape

A great geometric way to blow your mind - a strange four-dimensional object that is about to split into atoms! It's like a nuclear physics lesson on your computer screen.

3. Pipes

What's interesting here is the depth of space. It's interesting how far these colored pipes can go. And what flows through this meaningless pipeline? Doesn't matter. Just watch.

2. Haunted House

This house has a certain ghostly (in the truest sense of the word) charm. He's creepy, but that's what's good about him! You never knew what could happen in this scary house. A great replacement for the modern horror series on Netflix.

1. Labyrinth

Do we really need to say anything more about this? Labyrinth. A one of a kind classic. Nothing can surpass it.
