As a non-coder HyperCard opened the door to interactive media for me and I've never left. I loved that program to death and was still using it to do what we would now call wireframes as late as the mid-90s. What pains me is that I can run the latest version of Windows via VMware on my Mac but can't launch good olde HyperCard and see my old stacks.
The harder part is finding a copy of full HyperCard (not just the later viewer) in a format understood by an emulator that runs on modern Mac or Linux. At least, I couldn't the last couple times I tried.
I looked into a few of the Classic mac emulation packages and the amount of work always looked off putting -- in fact I think some even required finding a ROM if I recall. It's actually easier for me to dust off my giant G5. And yes abecedarius another challenge you may find is that if you have the real Hypercard it would be a series of floppy discs which can no longer be read.
Side note: My other dream has been to run NeXTstep on my Mac -- I understand that can be done too, but it looks like a ton of work.
