The game-playing is pretty accurate but the rest certainly is not.

Notice how when Magnum's typing on the computer, it's not even plugged in. (...or connected to the TV...or the phone) Close-ups of the keyboard appear to be of an Atari 800, not that weird Atari 400 add-on keyboard seen in other shots.
