As noted by Daring Fireball's John Gruber, developer Jeff Halter has released a new Afterglow app that allows you to run classic After Dark screen savers on modern macOS versions.
"Afterglow is an emulator built specifically for running After Dark modules -- the original 68k module code, not a remake or port -- with no dependencies on ROMs or classic Mac OS," said Halter, who has several fun nostalgic projects, such as After Dark space shooter Lunacy and HyperCard player Stacks.
Like a dummy, I downloaded the app, but before even booting it I went on a wild goose chase to find some After Dark disk images.
You can install it right from the app. It downloads the module packs from the Internet Archive.
Jeez, I had completely forgotten about the Star Trek versions. I used to have Spock wandering around my screen shooting a phaser, taking tricorder readings, and mind melding with a Horta.
This is awesome. ST-TNG modules are going to be copied from my old Macs tonight!
