SuperCard remains a 32-bit application and will continue to be for the foreseeable future. This means it is not compatible with Catalina (macOS 10.15) or later versions of macOS. While it is possible to run SuperCard under Catalina in a Parallels Virtual Machine, it is not natively compatible.

That was a very enjoyable read. Brought back a lot of memories. For a few years I had my students create presentations using HyperCard - until PowerPoint came along. There were also some HyperCard stacks that I bought or were shared around that had excellent information on all kinds of topics in science, so I had the students use those as a source and in a couple of cases those stacks were used in several days of curriculum. I knew HyperCard could do more than slide shows but I didn't give HyperTalk the value I should have and didn't teach the kids how to use it.
My son, on the other hand, took to HyperCard like breathing air. At about 11 or 12 years old he showed me that he had used HyperCard and HyperTalk to create a piano keyboard that when a key was clicked on it would play that note and then make a notation of it. A series of clicks were recorded as a "score" that could be played out in sequence. It kinda blew my mind. He was always good with that kind of stuff. When he was about 7 or 8 I taught him how to use Apple Logo. I also just for fun had figured out how to use my color TV as a monitor (though most of the time just stayed with the standard gray scale monitor). I came home one day and he showed me this geometrically intricate animation he had done in color. Not saying he was a genius, but he was pretty sharp with respect to that kind of thing. Not surprisingly he is a Cloud Infrastructure Architect now.
