In 1993, Villa Crespo Software released “Flicks! Film Review Library” designed and developed by Roger E Pedersen and Michael R. Hausman , Flicks! reviewed 30,000 films and could be searched by multiple fields such as actor, director, genre, year, rating and title. “Flicks” earned rave reviews calling it “required with every VCR sold” and outsold Microsoft’s “Cinemania” 4 to 1. Roger met with the National Captioning Institute and added a “closed caption” field to the product which had the NCI quarterly newsletter placing a free ad about “Flicks!” to its 5 million hearing impaired and non-English speaking members.
