>> Be aware: this is the DUTCH version (not ENGLISH !)

// What is HyperCard? (Short History Explanation)
Released by Apple in 1987, HyperCard was a revolutionary software tool created by Bill Atkinson. It combined a graphical interface with a simple scripting language called HyperTalk, allowing users to create interactive “stacks” of cards — essentially early multimedia applications.

HyperCard is often considered a precursor to the World Wide Web because of its use of linked cards, hypertext-style navigation, and user-created pathways through information. It became a beloved platform for educators, researchers, early software designers, and hobbyists. Many classic CD-ROM titles and early digital storytelling experiments were built in HyperCard.

Though Apple eventually discontinued it, HyperCard remains iconic — a foundational moment in user-friendly programming, hypermedia design, and interactive creativity. Original boxed editions are now sought-after collector’s items, especially when complete and functional.

// Included in this set:
– Three original 800 KB floppies — tested and fully working;
– Original HyperCard manual;
– Additional period documentation;
– Box and presentation materials from 1988.

// System requirements:
– Macintosh Plus, SE, or Macintosh II;
– Minimum 1 MB RAM;
– Two 800k drives — or one drive + hard disk;
– System Software 3.2 or later.

// Why this is a magical Christmas collectible?
Travel back to the golden age of Apple computing with a piece of software that changed digital creativity forever. HyperCard wasn’t just a program — it was a playground for imagination. With its easy-to-use “cards and stacks,” it helped inspire generations of developers, artists, and even early web pioneers.

Under your Christmas tree, this vintage set becomes more than a gift — it’s a slice of computing history wrapped in festive nostalgia … ready to bring retro joy this Christmas!
