HyperCard has a much bigger legacy than Myst: it inspired how Web browsers work, including the overall navigation look and feel, JavaScript, even the hand pointer! It's one of those super influential things that most people don't know about.

Never mind all the people who started out their programming careers tinkering with Hypercard.

Guilty as charged. HyperCard was a super fun environment to play around in and really easy to make simple games in. It was great for luring people deeper into programming.
