Buy the WarGames IMSAI 8080 and Possibly Impress Ally Sheedy

Posted by samzenpus on from the do-you-want-to-play-a-game? dept.

ilikenwf writes "Todd Fischer, the man behind this iconic prop from WarGames, the movie that spawned countless hackers, has come forward recently to announce its sale in the near future. Interestingly enough, the IMSAI 8080 still works, although the disk drive was damaged in shipping after the movie's conclusion, and was trashed."

    Honestly if it does not have the full paperwork and possibly all the actors signing the lid back then, it could be ANY Altair8080

    You do realize that you are hurling invective about gays in a story centered around a young man trying to impress a pretty young lady, and which contained some innocent but sexually charged moments between them? That isn't really a gay theme. When you went to post you could have made a useful comment. Instead you blew past useful, past useless, to stupid and ironic. That isn't a good practice in life.
