I had the good fortune, great challenge, and marvelous fun of scripting one of the first feasible experiments in Interactive Television: MINDPROBE, an interactive TV game show for the Sci-Fi Channel. It was long hours and short money with a team of some of the smartest people I've ever had the pleasure to work with. The actor who voiced the show's virtual host went on to play Charles Manson in a Beach Boys TV miniseries. Here's a screen shot from the show. Note the chat space at the bottom of the screen and the Max Headroom-esque virtual host to the left.
