Computer Virus TV News Report 1988

by Virus Help on June 27, 2011


Overly melodramatic and cheesy Boston TV channel news report about a computer virus outbreak discovered by MIT nerds. Fun because they don't just report on the virus - they interview geeks, and insert random clips from retro videogames and TV movies to illustrate what a virus is. Remember, this was 1988!

@naireland

Yeah as if the worst video game in history has anything to do with a computer virus. Granted the ET video game was insidious but it was by no means a virus.
