!PotShot by Scott Reid.

I must admit this is an adaptation of DeskDuck by Stuart Payne (hello Stu,
waddaya think ?). It's easy to use, can be calming and relaxing, and can
also be violent and sadistic. Hoorah you may say, the lord bringeth thou
all-purpose desktop silly. Well, it goes like this :

Upon loading PotShot, a little duckie appears at the bottom of the screen
swimming around your icon bar and quacking merrily. Moving the mouse just
above the top of the icon bar and pressing the select button will throw some
bread for the duckie, and it will see it and swim quickly to get it as it's
not had a good burger and chips for ages (ummm, me too !). Well, that's the
peaceful side of PotShot, you can feed it chunks of bread all day until it
explodes - there are easy ways of making the duck explode, have you ever
tried lacing the bread with TNT for instance or ....... If you move the
mouse near to it, your pointer turns into a set of cross-hairs. With these,
carefully position the middle over the duckie, making sure not to miss as
this could injure the duck and it'd have to spend hours of recovery in the
Animal Hospital and would have to suffer Rolf Harris and swarms of TV camera
crews. When on target, hit Adjust and kaboom, duckie is no more ! The duck
is dead, long live the duck. Don't worry, your cross-hair pointer comes
readily equipped with the breath of life, and duckie can be brought back to
life by choosing "Come Alive" (strangely enough) from the menu.

Well, that's about it. This was written instead of writing an Intel 960
disassembler during my programming lab. at university.
