War Games 25 Years On

Categories: PC / Mac

Tags:  | 

Written By: Daniel Roswell


25 years is a long time, for a movie that puts you in auto classic status, not that WarGames needs such generosity because it is a classic anyway. Made around the time video gaming was in it’s infancy WarGames inspired a whole generation of would be hackers, gamers and geeks alike and made you believe even us geeks could get a girl as attractive as Alley Sheedy.

Wired’s article, comprised as an interview with Walter Parkes, Lawrence Lasker and Peter Schwartz delves into what makes WarGames so popular today and their influences at the time that shaped the movie. It’s well worth a read if you’d like to not only know more about the film but also the gaming industry during the 70s/80s.
