During the height of the Cold War, the film popularized the concept of DEFCON in popular culture. It is thanks to this film that the hacker conference held in the United States received its name – DEFCON.
The film gave its name to one of the hacking techniques for scanning telephone networks for publicly accessible modem pools — wardialing.
The scenario of the battle was recreated in the 2006 computer game DEFCON, which accurately reproduces the 'schematic nature' of military operations and DEFCON levels.
The offer to play chess ('How about a nice game of chess?'), posed by the supercomputer to the player, can be found in the computer game Fallout, and the mention of a 'strange game that you can win without even starting it' — in another part — Fallout 2.
In the computer game Culpa Innata, you can find a computer that largely replicates Joshua. The main character can play chess with it (always losing) and tic-tac-toe (always a draw, or, if 0 players are specified, the computer freezes while playing against itself). 'Global thermonuclear war' is also on the list of games, but the main character refuses to play it.
The film was released in 1983, the same year ARPANET switched to the TCP/IP protocol, which can be considered the beginning of the internet era.
