CppDefCon3 - WarGames
summary
Claims about WarGames accuracy meet concrete checks: the on-screen IMSA 8080 and double 8-inch floppies are exaggerated, the acoustic modem’s shown lights betray a real bit rate nearer 1200 bps not the advertised setup, the dialer behavior matches classic wardialing, the Whopper mainframe’s “AI” is clearly driven by a visible Apple IIc, the one-letter-at-a-time decryption is nonsense, and the streaming poster’s C++ book is an anachronism (movie 1983 vs book 1985).
