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."

    But it's not the WOPR! Now THAT would be the bit of movie gear to have! :-)

    It would be, but if I recall correctly it was only a prop wired for lights. Still, it would fun to have that in a data center, especially if its one that people tour.
