I think x-men was right at the end of my tenure there. I was "chief engineer" on star trek and after dark 3.0. I remember the artist, Dana M. deciding that the beasties from Star Trek, "operation: annihilate!" Looked like clams, so he bought a can full and dumped them on the scanner...
Back then we used to ship software in boxes. There's a story that when they sold them at Macworld Boston, Rob V. flew back with a duffel bag full of cash proceeds...
They were really big on employee perks, like costco runs, but then again we were frequently there until 2am. Thursday night midnight we'd tune into "over the edge" on kpfa.
Um, rambling, get off my yard stuff now. Still, fun to see this pop up here. There was fun technical hacks a plenty there.

FYI, there's a space in your link which doesn't belong. Might want to edit that out.

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.
