Johnny Castaway is a screensaver released in 1992 by Sierra On-Line/Dynamix, and marketed under the Screen Antics brand as 'the world's first story-telling screen saver'. The screensaver depicts a man, Johnny Castaway, stranded on a very small island with a single palm tree. It follows a story which is slowly revealed through time.

Watch the screensaver here.
Okay, for some of the people this might be nostalgia, for people like me. This toturial works for Windows and Linux (wine). I made this one for Windows XP/Vista/7/8(.1). Probally works on Windows 10 too.
One problem is that it doesn't run on 64 bit systems, except if you do the following!
Download Screen Launcher and install it.
Download DOSBox and install it.
Download dosbox.zip and extract it to C: (you will get C:dosbox)
Start DOSBox for 1 time and in the 'Command Promt': type: 'exit'.
Goto: C:UsersYourUserNameAppDataLocalDOSBox and open: 'dosbox-0.74.conf' with Notepad or any other text editor you use.
In this file edit:
fullscreen=false to fullscreen=true
At the bottom of this file (after [autoexec]) put:
mount c c:dosbox
c:
cd windows
win runexit c:windowsscrantic.exe /s
exit
I assumed you extraced dosbox.zip to your C drive, if it is somewhere else just change the directory.
Now goto your screensaver settings and choose 'Screen Launcher'
