Description (Version 1.4)
* A Unique Collection of Cool Games and Utilities, All-In-One!
* HyperGames is a HyperCard stack, jam-packed with more than 60
exciting games and useful utilities. Creative games include an
acclaimed Pong clone, a Pac-Man clone, animations, music makers,
mathematical puzzles, educational quizzes, etc. Original HyperTalk
utilities include a Find/Replace function, an Internet data
converter, an automatic index generator, a progress bar, synchronised
multiple scrolling fields, and much much more. It is also an ideal
vehicle to learn scripting, as well as to demonstrate the awesome
power of HyperCard!
* HyperGames has been "battle-tested" with real kids. In fact, many of
the games were conceived by kids, and most of the graphics were drawn
by kids (8, 6, and 4 year olds). HyperGames can be enjoyed in
HyperCard Player, but you can extend the games and utilities if you
take full advantage of HyperCard. HyperGames has colour, but most of
the games and utilities function well on a black & white monitor.
* The design philosophy of HyperGames is "simplicity and consistency",
or "Keep it Simple Stupid (K.I.S.S.)". The scripts contain 100% pure
HyperTalk with no X-things (XCMD, XFCN) except for "AddColor".

* HyperGames is HyperCard stackware for the Apple Macintosh computer,
but it will be converted to cross-platform QuickTime Interactive (QTi)
format. It will be on-line playable directly from a web browser, and
downloadable to any personal computer that supports Apple's QuickTime
Interactive (QTi) technology.
