This sequel is coming in just a bit late, don’t you think?

Sadly, this is not an April Fools Day joke, but rather a sequel to the 1983 Matthew Broderick hacker film War Games, where a kid uses dial-up internet access to almost start World War III, but eventually stops it by teaching the computer about “unwinnable games” through several tic-tac-toe challenges.

We’re guessing it took scientists 25 years to make a computer with logic solid enough to be unable to compare war to tic-tac-toe.

This pic is a straight-to-DVD affair that will put Philadelphia in peril when another underage internet geek realizes the game he is playing online is real.

Assuming that Dead Code and the original War Games take place in the same universe, it seems foolish that the government would spend 25 years watching the internet evolve and personal privacy law get distorted, then think nothing about hooking their most advanced War computer up to the nets so it can “game” with people.

But, if the government was smart, we wouldn’t have any war movies.
