HyperCard was originally released in 1987 for $49.95 and was included free with all new Macs sold then.
This combination of features – a database with simple form layout, flexible support for graphics, and ease of programming – suits HyperCard for many different projects such as rapid application development of applications and databases, interactive applications with no database requirements, command and control systems, and many examples in the demoscene. HyperCard includes a built-in programming language called HyperTalk for manipulating data and the user interface. HyperCard combines a flat-file database with a graphical, flexible, user-modifiable interface.
It is among the first successful hypermedia systems predating the World Wide Web. HyperCard is a software application and development kit for Apple Macintosh and Apple IIGS computers. Macintosh: System 6, System 7, Mac OS 8, Mac OS 9
