Mr. Payback was billed as the world's first "interactive movie". It was written by Bob Gale and starred Billy Warlock. This was not a product for a videogame system, but actually released to a few movie theaters around the country which specially equipped one of their small auditoriums with 3-button joysticks on each seat. It used technology provided by the company Interfilm which ran the movie off of 3 NTSC LaserDiscs. Learn more about the Interfilm system here: http://www.joeredifer.com/site/interf...
One night I snuck one of the LaserDiscs home to see how it would act in a normal player. The video was presented in a very nonlinear format. I managed to record a couple of minutes to a Super VHS videotape. I recently found that tape, and that's what this video is from. The black slates and whatnot are directly from the disc, I did not insert them. This is all the video I have, I wish I had more.

If you wanna know what this movie was like, get the Interfilm DVD "I'm Your Man." It had a pretty significant release, and you can still find it on Amazon or E-bay and probably other sites. Joe refers to it on his website. :-)
They should release this on DVD! It should be the same controls as another movie I have on DVD called "James Spawn" where you have different choices to make.
A small wave of the future. It's pretty interesting how you've got a hold of this footage and movie, Joe Redifer. It's all in its 1990's-style cheese, too. Its overall style in terms of story, it seems, doesn't fully appeal to me, as much as I have a fasination in machines. I wonder a bit on how the joystick and its 3 buttons would work, too. Somehow, I'm reminded of the Sega Saturn when I see this.
