Pioneer Plague is a game designed by Bill Williams for the Amiga computer^[1] and published in 1988 by Mandarin Software and Terrific Software. It is one of the few games to use the Hold-And-Modify display mode of the Amiga for in-game graphics, a mode which allows thousands of colors to be displayed at once, but in a format that's better suited to static images than moving objects.^[2] It may have been the first commercial game to use Hold-And-Modify.^{[citation needed]} Pioneer Plague was not ported to other systems.

Williams also wrote the 1986 Amiga game Mind Walker.^[1]

Pioneer Plague received an 88% from Amiga Computing and 86% from Zzap!64.^[3] British magazine Computer and Video Games was less enthusiastic with an overall score of 39%, commending the graphics but criticizing playability.^[4]
