<div style='font: 11pt "EngraversGothic BT", "Copperplate Gothic Light"; text-align: left; '>Attaching a WarGames quote means you have to have some sort of nuclear game linked. You could argue that the missiles that blow up the ships are nuclear, but I doubt it. Otherwise, I could attach the quote to a link to a Flash version of Pong or Pacman, because technically, you're playing against the computer.

Besides, the correct quote is "Let us play a game". Old 80's computers don't use contractions, because it sounds cooler.</div>
