The term computergame covers a range of forms, including violent action games, strategy games, role-playing and narrative games, erotic and frankly pornographic applications, card games, puzzles and skill- testing exercises, and educational software. Some of these forms are clear repurposings of early games. Some computer games restage famous board games, from Monopoly to Trivial Pursuit; others enact war games (including reenactments of World War II, the Civil War, and so on), which were first introduced and are still played as intricate board games.

Source type: pictureInfo: Magie created her game as a teaching tool for single tax theory, a popular political movement in her time led by Henry George. Her game was played extensively after she laid claim to it, becoming a favorite among left-wing intellectuals in the Northeast. It is a version of that game, which had been modified over three decades, that Parker Brothers began to publish in 1935, well after Magie put her ideas onto paper.

Source type: pictureGames were introduced first in arcades and then as home video units in the early 1970s (Herz 1997, 14), a time when only organizations and businesses could afford Fully programmable mainframes and minicomputers. (The first do-it-yourself computer kits, such as the Altair 8800, also date from this time, but they were of interest only to skilled hobbyists.)
