Red Baron screensaver for those with strong stomachs

If you're the sort who rides roller coasters for fun, who takes cruises through the North Atlantic in wintertime and laughs at the green pallor of your fellow passengers -- maybe the Red Baron screensaver is for you. Join the OpenGL party as the Baron sails through a simulated sky and over the (presumably French, definitely pixelated) countryside. The Baron himself looks more like a Fisher-Price person or a Weeble than a WW I flying ace, but who's complaining? (Actually, if they had an Easter egg to put Snoopy in the cockpit, that would be awesome.)

The screensaver is a promotional item for the upcoming Red Baron movie from Warner Bros., which opens in Germany soon. With any luck the audiences will be over their dizzy spells by then.

Update:
Developer Chris Kent is over his bandwidth limit, so you can get the saver via our alternate download here.

The address will then be revealed in Google Maps on Safari. You can do the same if a data detector determines there is an address in an e-mail in Mail.
