This film was released in the early 1980s, when personal computers were still new, and networking them was a decade away. The general public didn't think much about hackers before this film. It also popularized the use of the term "hacker" as someone who breaks into computers, and gave an early taste of what online services could provide.
 
A direct-to-DVD sequel was made, called ''[[War Games]]: The Dead Code'', where the US Government develop another AI supercomputer called RIPLEY, this time to combat terrorism. Apparently, [[Aesop Amnesia|they didn't learn their lesson the first time.]]
 
Also, there's the [[Novelization]] by David Bischoff.
