Helios ReviewBest. Screensaver. Ever. - Version: 1.4.0, 3/15/2004 08:39PM PST

I got this Screen Saver whenever I got my new G4 (about a year ago) to show off my new video card, and this has never, ever failed to impress.

Everyone who sees it is amazed by it.

Helios ReviewAwesome looking saver.… - Version: 1.4.0, 2/1/2003 09:50AM PST

Visually, it ranks up there with Flurry and Euphoria. Wireframe is very cool. Considerable hit on the cpu though. As a matter of fact, twice the load as the others... Nice saver, but wont be using on the desktop.

IS BACK!!! Wireframe is back. *pwnz* I want it to be MORE complex than 100. I want it around 180 (after doing some NIB moddng). I determined that owuld look very nice if it would draw all of the SHAPE!! I run SETI in the Background while runnin this saver and its still very fluid. *wants more complexity/detail in wireframe* buahahahahahahahahaa

awesome! And free! If you have an older G4 or G3 Mac, fiddle with the settings for a while and you can get it to run more much more fluid than the defaults. Plus, it's just plain fun to change the looks.

on both dmg.gz and src.dmg.gz using Chimera and Safari. Investigating with MS IE 5.2.2, it appears that the 327 Kb download "completes" prematurely at ca. 115 Kb.
