GS OS, while made to resemble Mac OS pre-System 7, is NOT a MacOS. I can't imagine that the ][GS version of Hypercard would read standard Hypercard files. Not to mention that Apple abandoned the Apple ] [ long before they abandoned Hypercard, so even if Hypercard GS could read SOME Hypercard files, is would not read those created with later versions.

I've played with Hypercard GS years ago and my recollection was that, like my beloved ][GS (which I still have in storage), it was slower than molasses in January in northern Vermont. Imagine that speed running in emulation. Not a pretty picture.

And very interesting at that as it includes native colour:

It is quite legal to download the Apple IIGS version of
Hypercard along with the IIGS OS and run them inside a IIGS
emulator. I don't know whether the IIGS version is capable
of reading 'standard' Hypercard files.

I suggest that anybody who wants to 'play' with HC download
this (including James Spencer) rather than, either, taking
up my previous offer, or downloading 'copied', 'pirated' or
otherwise legally "dicky" software from elsewhere!

Sadly, there are neither bananas or turkeys in the IIGS
version of Hypercard - what a shame!
