I always felt like Hypercard was one small step from owning the www & modern browsing experience. It was earth shattering in its time for the ability to rapidly build multimedia experiences & applications...

IIRC, the Myst game creator was largely inspired by HyperCard.

More than that, the first Myst game is literally a hypercard stack.

They didn't make their own engine until the sequel, Riven, and the "Myst Masterpiece" remake.

Other Brøderbund games were HyperCard stacks too. I had Cosmic Osmo, and I remember playing The Manhole at a friends. These inspired me to make a Jurassic Park game using HyperCard. Sadly I didn’t get far.

Yeah, I just vaguely remember something about it from a documentary I saw a while back.
