As a child, I was strongly influenced by Thoru Yamamoto's works. See the Sky being one of them, of course.

And the very reason I was interested in Playdate was because its 1bit screen reminded me of HyperCard.

Thank you for this wonderful Christmas gift <3

You are very welcome! Please do share it with other people over the holidays.

Are you Japanese? I’d like to hear about how the Macintosh scene was in the early 1990s.

I was born in 1991, so there is not much I can say about that period from my own experience.

In the mid to late 90s, my father subscribed to some Mac magazines, which often had a supplemental CD-ROM. It contained a lot of software, including HyperCard stacks, submitted by readers of the magazine. I remember playing with them a lot.

Thanks! I am British, so my experience of the scene came only from having my own software and games featured in Japanese magazines. At the time I made games for Windows. After that I became a Macintosh fan and eventually worked at Apple for a while. During the COVID pandemic, and since, I collected many Japanese Macintosh Magazine CD-ROM and some 3.5” floppy disks. I shared them all on Internet Archive, and created a searchable database at: https://www.gingerbeardman.com/mmm/ From this collection I’ve recovered many “lost” HyperCard stacks, software and games. It’s a lot of fun! https://blog.gingerbeardman.com/2021/10/30/macintosh-magazine-media/
