''NightMare ''is a scareware application created by ''Patrick Evans'' in 1990 for [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Amiga Amiga] computers. When executed, it will run in the background. Every 5 minutes, the screen will switch to a picture of a skull with its mouth open, blood covering its teeth and a bullet hole on the back of the skull, blood leaking from it. This is accompanied by an echoing shriek and happens for a four-fifth of a second.

'''NightMare''' was a [[screamer]] [[program]] developed in 1990 by Patrick Evans for the [[wikipedia:Amiga|Amiga]] family of personal computers. It was distributed on Amiga [[wikipedia:Fred_Fish|Fish Disk]] 448.<ref>amiga-stuff.com/pd/fish.html/</ref> Evans made the program free to redistribute, and its source code was made publicly available.<ref>web.archive.org/web/20100829065252/<nowiki>http://amiga-fish.erkan.se/amiga-fish-disk-448-content-NightMare/</nowiki></ref> It is generally credited to be the first software of its kind.<ref>easyrider.easyrider.com/scareware_white_paper.htm</ref>
[[Category:Applications]]
 
When the program is executed, it runs in the background. Every five minutes, the screen would display a digital illustration of a skull facing right with its jaws open, its teeth covered in blood, and a bleeding bullet hole in its side, accompanied by an echoing shriek.
 
Very little information is available regarding this program, due to how old it is, and Amiga discontinuing their line of hardware in 1996.<ref>popularmechanics.com/technology/gadgets/a27437/amiga-2017-a1222-tabor</ref>
