Wargames (WOPR) Simulator running on IMSAI 8080esp

Here is my Wargames (WOPR) Simulator running on an IMSAI 8080esp (replica). The software is written in BASIC-80 and compiled. The IMSAI 8080esp is a kit from The High Nibble (thehighnibble..... This video demonstrates some of the features of the IMSAI 8080esp and the Wargames Simulator. Enjoy!

I absolutely love it!! I have one of these replicas and had a blast building it but haven't done anything else with it. This is so cool.

Thanks Gavin :)

Great idea, been looking for something to do on my IMSAI 8080. Looking forward to how this develops.

[@RTSRetroTechShed]

Thanks John. I'm just in the process of including the code for the Tic-Tac-Toe routine. Hope to post another update soon.

Hi, I just assembled my misai replica and found your video, cool thing! Do you have maybe the disk image of your Wargames simulator? I fail so see how I can transfert the basic files into an image myself... Thanks 🙂

[@RTSRetroTechShed]

Hi Stephane. I have added a disk image to Github: github.com/zompiexx/wargames/blob/main/wargames.dsk
1. mount disk image
2. switch to the drive (e.g. A:)
3. run command: mbasic wargames
4. Enjoy!

Hello, I would love to run this on my Kaypro 10 ( specs: CPU Z80A
SPEED 4 MHz
RAM 64 KB
VRAM 4 KB) Is there anyway we could make contact an I could get a nudge in the right direction to get this working, or is it a no go? I noticed your notes on GIT gub and just need to ask some follow up questions? Thanks

[@RTSRetroTechShed]

Hi TJ. If you log an issue via Github with details of your setup and what you're trying to achieve, I'll see if I can steer you in the right direction.

@@RTSRetroTechShed We got it! This is running on 1983 hardware, the original hard drive if you can believe it....Thank you Andy you are a gentleman and a proper computer enthusiast!

[@RTSRetroTechShed]

@@tjdemonte1172 That's great :)

[@BigSleepyOx]

Awesome video. :)
Is there any chance you could hook up a speech synthesizer like in the movie, so one could hear Joshua talk?

[@RTSRetroTechShed]

It's on the to do list when I get time :)
