Absolutely casual stream for a couple of hours this evening. We're buiding a virtual tour in Hypercard on a Mac G4 for @leigh_hackspace for this weekend's Open Day to run on our Mac SE.
We'll be showing some photos of the Hackspace, and building the Hypercard stack. Company welcome, and a casual discussion of Hackspaces, Hypercard and anything inbetween.
Starting now over on Twitch.

@kianryan @leigh_hackspace is there a way to play with Hypercard today, aside from just still having a working old Mac?
@kianryan @leigh_hackspace thanks! That simulator is insane. That's super cool.

From one end to the other:
Hypercard Simulator will let you run stacks in the browser.
https://hcsimulator.com/
Archive.org has a bunch of VMs:

https://archive.org/details/HyperCardVol1
https://archive.org/details/HyperCardVol2
You can also run Basilisk II or Sheepsaver, locally, run OS 7-9 on that and then run Hypercard on top of that.
A Basilisk VM is useful for transferring files to/from BlueSCSI as well if you want to transfer to devices such as a Mac SE.
I run Hypercard on real hardware. Mac SE running System 6, Powerbook 3400 running OS 8 and a dual proc G4 running OS 9. Tonight's stream was on the G4.
