That's true when it was released, but was it an intentional choice (ie the movie is explicitly set in our 1983 where this gear is old)?
Or is it just that between writing and releasing technology had changed so quickly?

Every technical element rang true, whether it was yesterday's, today's, or plausible future scope. I often recount how I loved the way David busted out of the office by using alligator clips and a microcassette to replay tones for the cipher lock. In a world where every other film is "hacker in a dark room wears a hoodie and cranks up EDM while CSS scrolls on the screen", WarGames appealed to nerds as an exploration of current tech, and a cautionary tale of a possible future.
