When I was a kid, my dad brought home a game to play on the old SE/30 (I was 8 or 9). It was called "Cosmic Osmo and the Holy Mackeral". It was essentially a complex hypercard stack that you could explore. Did lots of fun things.
There was another by the same company called "The Manhole"
Anyone else remember these?

I had a lot of good times with "The Manhole" as a young one. Good times...
Didn't the same developers go on to make Myst?

Yes. They developed the first version of myst with Hypercard too, actually. The Manhole, Cosmic Osmo, Spelunx were all aimed at kids. Myst was targeted towards Adults.

Hell yes! Those were the games I grew up on. Oh, the wonders of HyperCard.

I loved Cosmic Osmo.
I had a running order over at Cyan for if they ever found a copy of Cosmic Osmo. They found one but sadly I was too busy to go ahead and tell them to send it.

Once you wanted revolution, now you're the institution, how's it feel to be the man?

I don't remember them. Must have after my time.
