Nowadays we have multiple genres of combat and mechanics focused video games. (FromSoft games, to CRPGs like Baldur’s Gate, to tactics games like Xcom).

In the 70’s, that space was much less populated, so pencil and paper RPGs might have been the best small tactical games people could get their hands on (not everybody wanted to sell their houses for Warhammer miniatures).
