I caught this by accident the other night on PBS.  I can
safely say that it was no more accurate than War Games,
was indeed a limp ripoff of War Games, and was only mildly
interesting.  The ending to me seemed especially lame.  Unless
there was something subtle there I missed.  Anyone else see it?

The master take-over-the-world program was created by the hero
translating the patterns made by a 'game of life' program into
op-codes.  Gimmeabreak!  Do you really think a computer can cause
RS-232 signals to make a conference phone amplifier product human
speach?  Do we really need a computer hero with a name like 'Hacker'?
If you must see this, make sure there is something good on another
channel so you can multiplex during the boring parts.
