Version: Sim Aquarium 2.32
"At Long Last A Realistic Aquarium"
Pros: After years of waiting I have at last found an aquarium that is realistic enough to want as a screensaver and unlike others who have wtitten reviews, I had no problem with the download.
Unlike other screensavers I have seen where the fish look as if they are two dimensional photographs, the graphics in this product are wonderful, the water chrystal clear, the surface shimmering, and the fish move their bodies as would real fish in a home aquarium.
I recommend this screensaver highly to those who have a knowledge of home aquariums and to those who just want to enjoy the color and the tranquility of tropical fish.
Cons: I rarely give any product a 5 star review. With this product I would have liked to see like types of fish school more.
I would also have liked to see more dimension in the tank. For example, the fish never swim to the back of the tank or behind the coral and rocks as real fish would do.
These points are minor, however, in the overall performance of this screensaver.

"Locked-up while I wasn't looking"
Pros: The bubble sounds are relaxing to hear even when the image is gone. I give it five stars for the graphics and the effect it has on one's mood.
Cons: First:I left programs running while I did other business and when I returned the mouse was locked and I could not save what I was working on. This screensaver kept right on running as I did all I could to rescue 2 hrs. of writing. Had to reboot just to stop it. Save and close before letting it run. Second: though the free tank is all anyone would really need, the cost to add other tanks and fish seems rather stiff at up to $60.00 for the whole deal. You can get a couple of decent games for that price. Because of that I give it One star for ruining my work
