I was dating my wife when this came out. I could never get her to understand what I did for a living. I worked for a company that manufactured modems. It clicked when Broderick plugged in that acoustic coupler. 0-300 bits per second. ooohh, baby, we're cookin' with gas!
I was at NORAD when the military was changing out the command center to look more like Wargames. They still had green screen monitors and nothing fancy. Back then they still had tours into the mountain and the tours could come into the command center (after screens were covered or made UNCLAS). People complained that Wargames looked better so eventually they upgraded things to "modernize". I know I was disappointed the first time I saw it myself.
I guess I can say I was in Space Force before Space Force was Space Force.
I worked with a fellow at a 911 center who also worked there. He helped man the Santa tracker phones in the late 80s/early 90s. You might have worked with him.

Sometimes it feels like my 900mb connection drops to 300 bits per second xD
I was in high school when that came out and at the time, I was learning how to use those modems in my "Computer Math" class.
