Publisher's description of Planet Quest
In the last ten years astronomers have discovered over 150 planets beyond our own solar system. But sadly, with today's technology there are no direct images of these distant worlds. Planet Quest is our artistic vision of what these worlds might look like. Join us as we marvel at the infinity of creation - using the awesome power of your PC to create an infinity of worlds to enjoy and to marvel at, in stunning 3D. And, of course you'll see nebulae, galaxies, stars, suns, comets, asteroids, moons, planetary rings and even the occasional supernova in these unique and believable scenes. Flexible music playback options are included, as well as our original theme music. Planet Quest is also suitable for laptop users, providing a special "low power" mode when the battery is in use. Please note that Planet Quest never repeats a scene, and yet does not require advanced graphics hardware. So dim the lights and get yourself into the mood for some extrasolar discoveries!
Version 4.0 adds asteroids and laptop low-power mode, improved visuals, resource usage, error handling, and performance.

Version: Planet Quest 4
Pros: The entire program creates visual effects that mesmerize and entice one to watch and examine the scenes. This is pretty darn near perfect as screen savers go.

Version: Planet Quest 4
Pros: The graphics aren't so bad. It doesn't require much graphics power. It's a pretty nice screensaver to have. The transition effects are really nice, too.
Cons: They ask for a license ($15 bucks, are you kidding) but the unregistered version is fine.
