Bzzzzzz. Wrong answer. Remember, this was the early 80s, Sun was just a
start up then. Must have been a USCD Pascal system.
Secondly, in the scene when WOPR CALLS HIM BACK
and he looks all freaked
and pulls the plug out of the phone, how does the game timer keep
running AFTER he has disconnected from WOPR?
WOPR downloaded a Java aplet into his computer that the web browser
continued to execute! C'mon, that one's easy!
I occasionally
have Hacker Movie nights where all my computer friends
(some of whom were REAL hackers but I plead the fifth) come over and we
watch Wargames and Johnny Mnemonic or The Net and Sneakers, etc etc.
(Sandra Bullock in a black two-piece can come over and interface with me
anytime!) =-)
I did this one time with my friends..._War Games_, _THX1138_, and damn,
what was that other movie from the 80s that involves computers and
hacking and stuff? _Operation Condor_ (is that the name of it? The one
with Robert Redford)
"Three Days of the Condor" and yes, that was a pretty good film.
