Ars Technica originally ran this article back in 2012, reposted it over the weekend.
If HyperCard means anything to you at all, take a read for a lovely bit of nostalgia.
I loved HyperCard, loved the simplicity of its design and all the doors it opened. For some reason, Panic’s Playdate tickled that same feeling in me.

I completely get why Playdate has the same feel. Simple, accessible, fun, personal. I had done a lot of programming up until and since Hypercard. But I’m not sure if I ever had more fun.
P.S. I more excited to get my hands on Playdate than anything else I’ve seen in the last year.
