I suppose one could quibble that they weren't graphical in the sense that they allowed bitmaps, but there were certainly many WIMP interfaces around (well, maybe only WMP -- window, menu, pointing device/mouse; no icons). Quite a few of them, on DOS at least, based on Borland's Turbo Vision library; one could often tell from the interface if they had been programmed with TV :).
