I really wish a proper version of Hypercard was in this emulator. I'm too young to have used it at the time, but from what I've read it stands for an important ideal of what personal computers can be that's been forgotten and I'd like to experience what that was like first-hand.

HyperCard was the World Wide Web...in a parallel universe. If Apple had put just a bit more work into making stacks friendly to the internet, the world might be a completely differently place right now. Or not. Who knows.

You could tell their heart wasn't in Hypercard Player: putting "set the userLevel to 5" into the message box would essentially turn it into Hypercard.

Which to a kid learning to make neat things with his computer was a gold mine.

I'll see what I can do about getting a Hypercard-specific demo together.

As a kid, HyperTalk was the first language I fell in love with. It got me hooked on programming. I've always wanted to recreate it for the web, but never thought of doing it this way!

I wonder who owns Hypercard these days and if it could ever be released into the public domain.

Edit: Seems as if Apple now own it again as part of FileMaker Inc.

However, SuperCard is still around and just received an update for Mavericks. SuperCard can even convert HyperCard stacks.
