The International Computer Games Association (ICGA) was founded as the International Computer Chess Association (ICCA) in 1977 by computer chess programmers to organise championship events for computer programs and to facilitate the sharing of technical knowledge via the ICCA Journal.
Renamed the 'ICGA' in 2002, the association now more broadly fosters the computer games and game artificial intelligence community by organizing the Computer Olympiad, the World Computer Chess Championship, and the International Conference on Computers and Games. The ICGA also publishes a quarterly journal, the ICGA Journal, and maintains relationships with Computer Science, Commercial, and Game organisations throughout the world. The ICGA is led by David Levy.

—Gustave Flaubert (1821–1880)
“They that have grown old in a single state are generally found to be morose, fretful and captious; tenacious of their own practices and maxims; soon offended by contradiction or negligence; and impatient of any association but with those that will watch their nod, and submit themselves to unlimited authority.”
