After Dark, from Berkeley Systems, Inc, is a set of entertaining screen savers for Mac and Windows. After Dark for Windows started off as "Magic Screen Saver" for Windows 2.x. After Dark was most famous for its "Flying Toasters" screen saver. Afterdark was very popular on both the early Macintosh computers and Windows 3.0, as neither included any kind of screen saver or screen blanker that would help prevent screen burn-in.

After Dark 1.0 for Windows 3.0 and MacOS quickly became a hit. Neither of these OSes had built in screen savers at the time, and After Dark offered a number of creative and entertaining screen saver modules such as the classic "Flying Toasters"
Interestingly, this version runs in Windows 3.0 real mode.
