How ironic that the computers acronym was the WOPR yet we saw a McDonalds restaurant in the film!
That's coincidental, not ironic.
Are you saying that Wimpey had a stake in the movie, since the WHOPPER was a Wimpey product?

It was always just a matter of time before the lid was lifted on the sonics of this material.
Nice oomph.

Release of the Year in the soundtrack remaster/reissue market, in my opinion.
Great composition, performances and sonics.

Anyone notice the WarGames vinyl record lying in the exhibit of James Halliday's childhood room in the Halliday Archives of Ready Player One?

Listening to it now - at first didn't think the extra cues were needed, but enjoying them more the second time around.

Yup. And it's a spectacular release. In my dream world, WarGames would've replaced "Terms of Endearment" (and James Horner's "Krull" would've replaced Cross Creek) as original score Oscar nominees that year. (And Jerry Goldsmith would've co-won for Under Fire in a tie with Bill Conti's The Right Stuff, but I digress.) It's really three scores in one: one for the adults, one for the kids, and one for the computers. And Rubinstein handles it all so deftly, with some of the best orchestrations of 1983.
This will get a lot of play in this house.

Got it too - went straight to D2 first, since I'd never heard the old lp. Feel sorry for those who grew up with that, what an annoying experience! The dialogue ON track one would have pissed me off. Whole original lp does not show this score off in the best light.
That said, I'm grateful to hear for myself, and that the other dialogue bits are indexed separate. Big kudos to Takis & Malone on their essays.
Still need to hear D1, but have enjoyed the Intrada for years, so I'm sure it'll be as good or better.
Definite recommend, Quartet just slayed it this holiday.

I thought John wrote a superb set of notes for this release. He did so informatively yet economically, with detail yet taking a broader view, and John cleverly identified how the landscape of computing and hacking has both changed and remained the same over the last 35 years.
I think Rubinstein crafted a brilliant score—he balanced all the moods and tensions in a way that demonstrated he was an intellectually impressive man. I don’t mean that he wrote intellectual music rather that his careful musical palette and application of his motifs shows us how much thought he put into crafting the facets that Bill mentioned.
Thanks for all the kind words, BornOfAJackal, I really appreciate it.

Thank you, Chris Malone, for making analogue sound like analogue at 44.1kHz/16-bit.
A rare feat.

It's not sold out by now? Weird.
