WOPR Nuclear War Scenarios - Interesting
I was randomly looking up stuff about the movie Wargames today and came across a list of the nuclear war scenarios the computer ran. Interestingly absent from the list is anything regarding both Israel or North Korea. Iran, Iraq, Lebanon, and Pakistan/India are mentioned. Yes I know I have too much time on my hands.
From the website:
The nuclear war scenarios that WOPR runs when learning the futility of war, and are seen in the film, are as follows:
