LGR | The 40 Year History of The Marine Aquarium Screensaver

To many, SereneScreen Marine Aquarium screensavers are most well known by the versions for Windows XP.

Or perhaps the Aquatic Life version on Roku 4K devices. But there were many more releases and editions in the 2000s, plus a whole history going back 40 years to the Commodore 64 and Amiga days!
