Macsyma was there before Mathematica, but it only ran on “real” OSes (i.e.
Unix) and was written in a “real” programming language (Lisp), so it would
never work on Windows.
Mathematica’s main appeal was pretty 3D graphics. They looked pretty
advanced back in the late 1980s. But you look at the package now, and they
haven’t improved any.
