I cut my programming teeth on HyperCard long ago. I made WildCard over a period of about a month of free time. I'm not asking for any money; I just wanted to remember how much fun HyperCard was. The screens are bigger and better, but the stacks are still the same size!
The project shows off a number of wonderfully intuitive things about HyperCard, from the simple stack-of-cards architecture, to the readable english-ish script visibly defined in BNF.
Now featuring free accounts that let you share your stacks with the public...For example:

Have a good time and let me know if you used HyperCard!
- bardan 5y agoHyperCard was my first experience with programming as well, made a few weird little games. My parents actually bought me Hypercard 3.0 for my birthday one year, I was super excited!
- betamaxthetape 5y agoHyperCard 3.0 was an unreleased in-development version of HyperCard that Apple was developing in the late 1990s before the entire project was cancelled. So I suspect that wasn't the version your parents got you! (On the other hand.... if it actually was, please get in touch! I've been looking for a copy for years.)
- bardan 5y agoAh, yes so it was. It must have been the final release, I believe it was when they introduced full colour support.
- sneak 5y agoI used HyperCard! I installed it from floppies!
- cortesoft 5y agoAnother programmer who started with HyperCard here… it truly gave me my love of programming. The HyperTalk Bible WAS my Bible.
- shaunxcode 5y agoVery cool! I am also in the HyperCard as a first “reproductive system” boat.
