I remember when my friend's dad took us with him to Egghead software (an actual brick and mortar store dedicated to buying and selling software) and bought a screensaver package (After Dark I think?). After he installed it, I remember sitting at their computer just watching the man mow the lawn. It was funner than most games.

My wife worked for Egghead back in college. She ended up doing a short-time job as phone support for Sierra.

Wanna talk gamergate? She was a girl, so they put her on the flying toasters. Yep. That's right. My wife, who beat Leisure Suit Larry at the age of 9, who mapped all of Dragon Quest on quadrille, got to support screen savers because she was a girl.
