A huge collection of After Dark screen savers. 2:50 in is the X-Men which I had the pleasure of working on as an artist. Many hours spent in front of Deluxe Paint and Deluxe Animator to get the characters on to the screen.
I should have some of that work on a floppy somewhere.

xscreensaver, which even runs on iOS and OS X, continues to release new modules:
Erfert Fenton's book "Art of Darkness" came with a bunch of add-on screensavers for AD. I remember the chalkboard module being particularly impressive.
After Dark was great (I remember oogling it in Babbage's) but firing up my Dad's high-powered 486 and watching my Star Wars screensaver really made me feel high-tech. Especially when the Jawas started walking onscreen and stealing my folders.

For nostalgia, DarkSide of the Mac had a pretty sweet freeware screensaver collection. (http://www.poubelle.com/DarkSide.html)
