Well before the Sol (or even the Altair) came out,
there were already
several microcomputer newsletters and magazines such as Creative Computing
(1974), The Computer Hobbyist (1974), and Micro-8 (1974). I'm sure you
can find a bunch of references to games in these.
Don't forget _Microcomputer Digest_ (1973-74), the first microcomputer
newsletter. Details abound at VCF 2.0.
BTW, I don't have any machines based on the Intel
4004 (first commercial
MPU), but I do have a machine and games for a TI TMS1000-based system
(second commercial MPU). Interestingly, TI *still* makes versions of the
TMS1000!
Cool! What machine is that?
