Scratch

It's not the scariest, it's just something unexpected:
My virtual Macintosh going wild when opening a program I wrote. Originally, the program was supposed to be a modified version of the Control Panel for a Mac OS 7 based system I was making, but a sudden program error made me restart the emulator. When I loaded the file in my resource editior, it called the file corrupt. I opened the file myself and before me was a Mac Bomb. I clicked "Restart" and it went wild. The screen distorted several times and you could hear broken, looping chimes and Sad Mac sounds, completly unannounced! After a reboot (of the Mac) and some fixing, I kept the corrupt program and renamed it to "Crash". It's in the System Startup floppy disk image, where I execute it whenever I feel like it. The program doesn nothing harmful to the Mac itself, and with the little memory protection Macs had in the 80's-early 90's, I'm surprised the Finder isn't corrupt yet from that program. I'm still tying to find out what caused it to go bad.

"O looping sound of death and corrupt display, I fix ye with a backup disk image!"

P.S. I used Mac OS 7.1 and used ResEdit to edit a copy of the control panel.
