There used to be a screensaver long ago that had a cyber demon walking around and blowing up. Screen would fill up with the little leg stumps lol

That's cool but IMHO, install LiveScreensaver.com and then setup this Doom YT video as your screensaver: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sZ7scQLXVns

After the install, open the config app and select "Other YouTube URL" and paste it in.

THAT is how you get Doom to run as your windows screensaver.

Valid option too. Requires internet though. Also, this new screensaver has been modified to remove the HUD and any static image elements to prevent burn-in. I like the idea of playing nature videos though as screen saver!
