I think the only reason it never came around is because with LCDs and energy-efficient sleep modes there is very little call for screen savers.
Still, I'd love to see something done with After Dark for OS X. Even if it was Ben Haller releasing a carbonized version of Lunatic Fringe (maybe as a stand-alone program). Didn't he do that with Solarian II? You Bet Your Head from AD 3.0 would be another good one to revive.
I don't think the original AD guys had any plans to bring it back though. There was an excellent series of interviews with them on LEM last year and I don't think they said it was in the cards, but then again stranger things have happened and things come to those who wait. (I'm still waiting for the Fool's Errand sequel...hopefully I will be playing it by Christmas!)
