The movie WarGames was a solid exploration of Cold War paranoia, and it inspired several video games for the Atari 8-bit. Here's Computer War from Thorn EMI Video, one of my favourites from back in the day.

Atari A to Z is a weekly series that gradually works its way through the Atari 8-bit's catalogue of games, one letter at a time. Once we get to Z, we go back to A and start all over again!

New episodes on Tuesdays.
