John McKittrick:
It all flows into this room and then into what we call The WOPR computer. Lyle Watson:
WOPR? What is that? John McKittrick:
It's a War Operations Planning Response. This is Mr. Richter. Paul, would you like to tell these gentlemen about The WOPR. Richter:
Well, the WOPR spends all it's time thinking about World War III. Twenty-four hours a day, 365 days a year, it plays an endless series of WarGames using all available information on the state of the world. The WOPR has already fought World War III as a game time and time again. It estimates Soviet responses to our responses to their responses and so on. It estimates damage, counts the dead, and it looks for ways to improve the score
