Description: 

Hypergate is an early hypertext system produced by Mark Bernstein in 1988 and written in FORTH for the Macintosh operating system. FORTH remains in use for developing and deploying standalone applications for the Apple operating system even today. After Bernstein licensed Storyspace in 1990, he dropped the development of Hypergate. Sarah Smith's King of Space, begun in 1988 and published in 1991, is the only work created on this platform.
