My recollection is that Creative Computing began as a magazine after
Byte, but David had published a book of 101 Computer Games while still
working at DEC -- previous to Byte. The emphaisis in both was on
BASIC programming, games, and education -- they fell more in the
tradition of Bob Albrecht's Peoples Computer Company newspaper and
early BASIC texts. Counter culture. Byte was more technical -- for
computer hobbyists.
There were also several newsletters before Byte. One published by
Carl Helmers, as Nelson menitoned, another on the 8008 by a West coast
man whose name escapes me off hand (Hal Singer?), the Bug Book guys in
Virginia had one I believe, another by Stephen Gray (?). etc. These
were followed shortly by many local club newsletters, one of which,
SCCS interface, had a short run as a national magazine.
