A list of Thoru's HyperCard stacks can be found on the website of Motoyuki Tanaka, where they were hosted.[1] These were a mix of animations and interactive scenes and are listed alphabetically below. Out of a total of 32 stacks only 22 are present in the Wayback Machine archive of this website.

Note that all volumes of ZiZi Stories are still available online as HTML [2], but these versions lack the sound, animated transitions and frame pacing of the older HyperCard versions.
