another well made port that deserve more views imo

the 1992 Sierra "the world's first story-telling screen saver" :
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Johnny_Castaway

ported to the Dreamcast, from Hunter Davis
not a playable game, you just watch Johnny doing things day by day on his lost isle

you can find all the port details, the download links, and even the source code on the developer page :

This is awesome! I used to watch this screensaver on my PC almost nonstop!

Thx for posting. Forgot about this until now, used to watch it as a kid as well

Thanks for this!
I used to have this screensaver on Windows 95 or 98 back when I was a kid lol

Does this crash/hard freeze after about an hour for anyone else with a GDEMU?

It crashed twice for me and it's when the old pirate ship shows up on the left.

Yes, froze for me too. Both CD or Dreamshell

That's a shame, thanks for confirming that for me. Hopefully the developer will release a fixed version one day as I like having it on in the background lol.

I couldn't even get it to work with Dreamshell on my other DC, it just reboots the console. Does it play CDI or does it need to be converted?

I dont think this was ever tested on real hardware judging from the website...
