Hackers are the role-models of young computer freaks and the dread of every systems administrator. A while back, a movie was released on the subject, where a young boy named David Lightman cracked into the military supercomputer WOPR and well near caused a thermonuclear war, by playing the computer in what he thought was a computer game. WarGames is a game developed by MGM-Interactive and is set 20 years after the movie. David now works for NORAD, and the WOPR is still around doing war simulations, despite the generals inclinations to sell it for scrap at the end of the movie. To test the WOPR, David lets the gamers play the computer through the Internet, in a game of tactical warfare. There is a feeling of deja vu here.
