The dawn of the so-called "information age," also called the "computer age," coincided with the introduction of the personal computer in the late 1970s, according to most historians. At that time, the only industry magazine was "Creative Computing." The publishers of this milestone journal also published a board game, "Computer Rage," in 1977. The game involves a combination of luck, or probability, and strategy, and the play mimics the operations of "a modern computer system" in simplified form.
