The Internet Archive lets you run HyperCard stacks by emulating the entire Macintosh system, but you can also use the HyperCard Simulator:<p><a href="https://hcsimulator.com/" rel="nofollow">https://hcsimulator.com/</a><p>You can click on a menu at the top right to bring up a list of stacks. It simulates HyperCard directly rather than simulating an entire Macintosh, so it’s a lot faster and more convenient to work with. Not all stacks are compatible, but there’s a wide selection.

If you want to stick with HyperCard, I recommend LiveCode (www.livecode.com). I have a dozen stacks or more that I use to keep track of things, remind me, my own very personalized calendar program, etc etc etc.<p>They no longer have a free version, but to me it is well worth the approx $100/year.
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...
Not being an Apple/Mac user, I was able to get into the "About Hypercard" box, but never back out. There doesn't appear to be a way to close dialog boxes.
This was my introduction to writing computer logic or “programming”. Such a fun time. I remember distinctly plucking up the courage to ask for the HyperCard books from our school computer guy, it was that cool. GoldenEye HyperCard I was famous for 15 minutes.
