Recently I bought the OriginFX screensaver for Windows 3.x (by Origin) and had to try it with Dosbox. The main reason I bought it was that ever since Ultima VII Part 2 - The Serpent Isle I wondered what the installer for the OriginFX module would do. Now I know 😀
The screensaver already came with some modules from Ultima7. I recorded all with Dosbox video capturing and made a quick cut of all and uploaded to YouTube. Unfortunately YouTube resized it to even a smaller size but you see and hear enough. When there is nothing to hear then there wasn't anything 😀

Funny to see that butterfly... was waiting for somebody to
hammer against the screen.

I remember buying this. I also enjoyed the module that played the cinematics from Wing Commander II.

I also have this installed in my Win 3.1 under DOSbox.

See, it's very important that Dosbox supports Windows 3.x 😀

I agree. There are plenty of games and such that only run under Win 3.1. Having DOSbox run 3.1 is just part of supporting all of DOS IMO.
