Seen other films about technology and they lack a good story telling. The idea of what the film try's to give about humanities ability to make its own species go extinct is on the spot. All weapons are not made to defeat your enemies but to destroy your onw and be use against is sad that it has not change. The film was nice and kept me on my toes. I knew the ending already but still had fun through out the film. Good of its time and then some.

Who can forget this classic '80's tale of a young hacker that wants to break into a game company computer to play their latest games and nearly starts WWIII when he breaks into NORAD initially thinking it's the fictional Protovision game company? I remember hearing President Reagan talking about this movie when I was a kid. I think there was a government study done showing this stunt couldn't be pulled off but it definitely made the military a bit nervous nonetheless. Watching this brought back childhood memories of arcades, acoustic modems, 8 inch floppy drives, etc. And of course, seeing floppy discs made by Elephant, an IMSAI computer and showcasing a war dialer in action definitely brought back memories of the technology used back then too. Having had this on DVD previously, it made for a good upgrade. Sound was adequate, not great but not bad. Picture looked quite a bit better than on the previous DVD. Unfortunately there weren't many extras. What few extras you find here were ported over from the previous 25th anniversary DVD. Overall, this is a cheap but good buy. Definitely worth adding to your movie library if you grew up in the 80's.

Love this movie! Works as advertised. Only issue was receiving the item on-time. I had to utilize customer service to reorder the item when it was not delivered the first time.
This review is from Wargames [25th Anniversary Edition] [2 Discs] [DVD] [1983]

Loved this movie. Lots of action and a little romance. Can see where Ferris Bueller came from
