WARGAMES at Santa Cruz GDI (7/20) I saw this movie as a young lad and fell in love with Ally Sheedy shortly after I used my paper route money to buy a top-of-the-line personal computer with 8K RAM running BASIC-in-ROM in order to write 6502 assembly language games and program a demon dialer to hack all the computers unlucky enough to be within my phone prefix.

draw people away from their televisions out of the malls into the
ni...
