What year was the final edition (I think it was called the Tenth
Anniversary Edition) of After Dark, the screensaver that included
those flying toasters, released? It was made by Berkeley Systems,
which by that time had been already been acquired by, I believe,
either CUC or Sierra Online.

Good Day zpatch-ga,


After Dark was originally made by Dynamic Karma Inc. Berkley Systems
published the software at one point, although it took a while before
they did so. Eventually Dynamic Karma Inc. lost control of the product
to their publisher, Berkley Systems. The sales of After Dark have
dropped off since significantly, while Dynamic Karma is having success
with their new screensaver package called Magic ScreenSaver.

After Dark 4.0 came was released in 1999. It was also bundled in the
third quarter of 1999 as the Anniversary Edition you mentioned. This
is the last version of the software for the PC. I was able to find
this info in two places, one of which is a German web site (you might
want to do a Google Search for the address I am giving, and click on
the Translate link instead of clicking on the actual URL.
