Verdict: At the end of the day, 'Goosed!' is a whacky and colourful screensaver. The source website http://www.adders.org/ is a charity site.

System Requirements:
16MB Ram, Pentium 90, SVGA display. Runs best in 800 x 600, 16 bit high or 24 bit true colour setting.

"'Goosed', according to Webster's New Riverside University Dictionary, is USA English slang for an abrupt, sudden upward push." This helpful piece of information accompanies this quite strange but good-clean-fun screensaver, and offers a somewhat tenuous explanation for the events it relates. There is a story here - the brief tale of two men, a cow and burning bush - just don't expect a plot to rival "War and Peace".

Disregarding its screensaver origins for a minute though, 'Goosed!' is worth running just for the sound effects - if you share your workspace with others, try leaving your speakers switched on when you go to lunch. Then when you return, wait for the comments of colleages who were around when the screensaver kicked in!
