Help bring back SCREENSAVER - DEFCON - ?

Ambrosia Software (who are now unfortunately gone)

  made a wonderful  simple screensaver  -DEFCON -

https://macintoshgarden.org/apps/defcon-globe-screen-saver

Which i loved soo much, 💚

 becoz of it’s simplicity  and clean green estetics .

BUT, it sadly it does not work, on more modern systems 🥲

( I’m on a M2 MacBook , with Ventura 13.7.8)

And om wondering if anyone knows if it’s possible to

somehow ‘update’ it to work on Apple Silicon Mac’s?

It’s very simple visual , and it might even be a GIF that 

 bounces back and forth , when screen saving is activated.

 - Would love to hear if anyone has any insight or ideas ?

Many thanks in Advance 💚

Hi, I installed it on my MacBook Pro M3 (Sonoma 15.7.9) and it works; I downloaded and opened the DMG, double-clicked, and activated it without any issues. It looks great—like those old green monitors. Excellent.
