Love how WarGames is filled to the brim with fonts no one wants: Gorton, low-poly vector fonts, old-school bitmap fonts, 14-segment stuff.

Not to forget this little nugget typeset in some shady military stencil font.

And then, at the end, this. This *is* a real font, but inspired by another strange computery one!

@mwichary @foone Wargames is 100% the reason I live in Sunnyvale.. it’s where David asked the operator for prefixes in when he was wardialing… when it came time to find an apartment I had the choice between two places basically equivalent, I picked Sunnyvale because of David Lightman. When my now wife found out she was horrified :)

@PopeASDF @mwichary @foone Hehe. I live in Sunnyvale, too, but it wasn't intentional, just a nice coincidence that tickles me every time I rewatch the movie. I also have a ProtoVision t-shirt: https://www.lastexittonowhere.com/news/2021/jul/15/protovision-vintage-t-shirt-inspired-wargames/
