Which fictional character was first developed in 1959 and was the main character in a 1983 film?
Psycho II (film) Psycho II is a 1983 American slasher film directed by Richard Franklin and written by Tom Holland. It is the first sequel to Alfred Hitchcock's "Psycho" and the second film in the "Psycho" series. It stars Anthony Perkins, Vera Miles, Robert Loggia, and Meg Tilly. The original music score was composed by Jerry Goldsmith. Set 22 years after the first film, Norman Bates is released from the mental institution and returns to the house and Bates Motel to continue a normal life.

"Psycho II" grossed over $34 million at the box office. The film was followed by "Psycho III" (1986) and "" (1990).
The Prisoner (video game) The Prisoner is a 1980 Apple II computer game produced by Edu-Ware. The game was loosely based on the 1960s television series "The Prisoner" and incorporates that show's themes about the loss of individuality in a technological, controlling society. The player's role is that of an intelligence agent who has resigned from his job for reasons known only to himself, and who has been abducted to an isolated island community that seems designed to be his own personal prison. The island's authorities will use any means—including coercion, disorientation, deception, and frustration—to learn why their prisoner has resigned, and every character, location, and apparent escape route seem to be part of a grand scheme to trick the player into revealing a code number representing the prisoner's reason for resigning. The game occasionally breaks the fourth wall by acknowledging that a game is being played.
