Graphically stunning CA's

After reading Rucker's raves about CA's in MONDO 2k's book, I began
searching for some of the types of programs he spoke of.  Not being all
that persistant and probably not asking the right people, I only found a
program called AAALIFE.  It's nice...but not what I expected from
Rucker's descriptions.  Thus...I stumble in here and plop out the
following...
 
Could anyone point me towards a fairly recent and visually entertaining
version of a CA?  Something that's relatively quick, perhaps simple,
colorful and mutating on the screen at all times.  I'd like this for two
reasons.  One, I'm addicted to visuals...they make me smile.  Two, I'm
interested in learning about a-life and cellular automata and I figure
having a program to putt around with would be a dandy beginning.
 
All this on a PC...can it be done for an FTP a day?
