1999-11-30|Sales of HyperGames Take Off
For Immediate Release
- HyperInfo Canada Inc. today announced that the sales of HyperGames 2.2, a multimedia HyperCard stack jam-packed with 75 exciting games and useful utilities for Apple Macintosh, have reached 10 in 10 days since its release 1999-11-15. The HyperGames website has registered 16 187 hits or 4 140 visitors since it was first released, and as many as 1 121 copies of HyperGames have been downloaded by the end of November.
- Go Simon Sunatori, P.Eng., M.Eng., President and Chief Executive Officer of HyperInfo Canada Inc., said that it is not bad for a product entirely based on Apple HyperCard, a supposedly dead application programme which has not been substantially updated by Apple for many years. "Imagine if HyperCard were actively developed and supported by Apple, the sales of HyperGames would be 10 times as many. If HyperCard were fully integrated with QuickTime Interactive, the sales of HyperGames would be 100 times as many. If HyperCard were cross-platform, the sales of HyperGames would be 1 000 times as many." Since his 3 children conceived many of the games and drew most of the graphics, each kid gets a bonus of $1 CAD every time a copy of HyperGames is sold. "They are very happy to save the money toward their own iMac. They really want integrated colour in HyperCard among other modern features, in order to express their ingenuity, creativity and imagination." The potential of HyperCard would also skyrocket if it were integrated into the Mac OS X Carbon environment.
- HyperGames is a $10 USD shareware, and many of the equivalent games are sold by others as stand-alone application programmes for $5 USD to $20 USD each, especially in the Windoze environment. Here is a complete list of games and utilities in HyperGames, which is also an ideal vehicle to learn scripting, as well as to demonstrate the awesome power of HyperCard!
