    Win at WarGames!
    The top 104 scorers will receive prizes.  To activate the tournament mode, you must use the codewords.  In case you did not write them down during the March 28th premiere... Pride, Honor, Duty, Hero (not necessarily in that order).  Good Luck! "WarGames" is the virtual warfare game that my company built for TBS Superstation.  This television event challenged each branch of the U.S. Armed Forces with realistic combat scenarios. The "games" that these soldiers play are the same training exercises they use to prepare themselves for war.
