WIRED WarGames Roundtable, Original IMSAI 8080 Computer

July 19, 2008 by  

There is a great article in the latest issue of WIRED magazine (16.08), featuring a roundtable interview of the principals behind the classic 1983 film, WarGames.  Participants include John Badham (Director), Walter Parkes (Screenwriter), Lawrence Lasker (Screenwriter), Peter Schwartz (Futurist, Creative Consultant), William Lord (Commander, Air Force Cyberspace Command), David Scott Lewis (Solar-Tech Entrepeneur, Model for David Lightman), John “Captain Crunch” Draper (Early Hacker), Kevin “The Condor” Mitnick (Early Hacker), Eddie Deezen (Actor).

It is also great to see that the IMSAI 8080 computer featured in the film has been preserved in the past 25 years:
