A free bonus giveaway, usually in promotion with their cartridge-driven Tandy computers, which were trying to compete with Commodore and Atari (remember the BASIC-programmable Atari PC?) in their 80's day.
For a second, thought it was the 80's "War Games"-knockoff TV series of the same name, but...nope, this one's original.

Alec & Shanna were the ones doing store promos.

Hahahahahahahaaa… Freejack. I remember that coming out, what a big deal it wanted to be, and how fast it crashed, burned and was forgotten even by the end of that summer. It’s a terrible nothing of a film.
