Before Scratch was made, There was LogoBlocks in 1995. LogoBlocks was made in April 21, 1995, but LogoBlocks was discontinued in November of 2003. what was LogoBlocks about? what was it like? if you can tell me about what it was Scratch Team then thanks! Also are there any archived versions of LogoBlocks? if there is then can you reupload them? More info of LogoBlocks can be seen here: https://en.scratch-wiki.info/wiki/Development_of_Scratch_1.0

I don’t think so if it was gone and a old version then well it’s a gg I believe or is it?

i believe that my simular topic (ignore my spelling) could answer your question. while it is not the exact same question, it is still on the topic of logoblocks.

What was "LogoBlocks"? (THE PRECURSOR TO SCRATCH)

it was basically a block-based programming language thingy MIT made (probably not super publicly) for controlling specific real-life devices (like the Cricket). (so no sprites or stage or anything, that's a Scratch thing). it went through many iterations, each super different (and the earlier ones ran on Classic Mac OS only).
archived versions do exist (mostly either from the Wayback Machine or received from its developer), which I've collected in my archive: https://cst1229.eu.org/TBCAMuseum/#misc

(about the “i-BOX” versions: some other company got the source code to a 2000s versions to LogoBlocks and modified it to support their own devices, and it received updates even after the original MIT version stopped being developed.)
