I made probably my second game on Hypercard. It was called "Dessert Storm". It was a misspelling which I was oblivious to at the time (which gives you an idea how old I was and what decade it was).

Later in life I made a point-and-click game similar to the one you described, on a newer version of Hypercard. This one had sound. I made this with a couple classmates in elementary or middle school. It was based on caricatures we had made of our school life, teachers, and classmates.



Hah! I made a Desert Storm game too. You had to shoot down Scuds with Patriots. I think I had a level with tanks too, which had a giant Saddam head as a target for no reason other than the fact I was pleased with how I could draw him.


Yours sounds way better.


There's a very good chance that I'm remembering it as better than it was. I'm gutted that I don't know where all my Hypercard games are now.


We hope to keep the upload website running for a while, so if you do stumble across your stacks in a few months, you should still be able to get them running on the Archive.


Heh, I didn't even have levels. In fact, the planes stopped when you shot the bullet. I hadn't learned about event loops yet.


I was very pleased with my two frame explosion animations.
