yes - hypercard was around in the early? or at least mid-80s, &
definitely used for electronic fiction. i don't have links to any
examples but i remember a friend in the late 80s was playing around with
it as a way to create non-linear narrative work.
but this is just another example of big institutions defining firsts of
things, like my favourite one to complain about, the tate live
performance series so kindly brining us the first ever performance
series curated for the web, in 2012 ... :D

thanks Rob - have just added your feedback to the posting. I'm sure
HyperCard was before all of these, maybe lot of works never got any
attention. And that was around 1989

There's also the first "Library Of The Future" disk for the Data
Discman
from 1991:

I burnt a disk for the Discman the other year with some Cory Doctorow
novels on. It's a shame there are no Russian sites with William Gibson
novels texts, otherwise I'd have used those as well.
