There are several things that make me smile, grin, chuckle or groan:
Launch codes being found one character at a time
- "Plasma to the Face" when the game of Tic-Tac-Toe is found to be a draw
- The long list of scenarios
- The completely gormless expression on the General's face during the playout of the scenarios
- Falken typing "Hello Joshua" so quickly and without looking.
That said, and put in its time, it's a surprisingly good film. I remember watching it in the cinema - it is better on the big screen - and it was there I learned about the existence backdoors and a few other things. That started my interest in hacking. Before that I'd just written a compiler and a booking system.
I suppose a more modern version of WOPR might simulate WoW.
