(Which of course is ridiculous because the Cyberpunk genre is set rather far in the future, and the computer crime described in the book had little relation.) The Secret Service was particularly careless with the materials they confiscated, which included many of the manuscripts that Steve Jackson was working on, their BBS which they used to support their games, and even the personal computer of the writer of the game Lloyd Blankenship (from his home). Acting on the advice of a civilian 'expert' on computer crime, they suspected that the upcoming book GURPS Cyberpunk was a handbook for computer crime. In Mathe Secret Service was busy with raiding BBSs across the country in a crackdown on piracy called Operation Sun Devil. I would be remiss if I didn't mention their run-in with the United States' Secret Service at some point.

So, don't be surprised by a liberal sprinkling of fnord through their materials. Heck, the company's symbol is the classic eye in the pyramid. Apart from the inevitable games based on it ( Illuminati and Illuminati: New World Order), they also published the Principia Discordia (along with their own apocryphal chapters). One common theme of SJG's various materials is the idea of a vast global conspiracy called Illuminati. (SJG did a nifty trick with it, though, and started putting out their materials as if it were a non-collectable game.) He also got back his rights to put out Ogre. (At least 10 years strong.) They had a big hit when they produced Illuminati: New World Order, however that game has died along with most of the other CCGs from that era. (And they still print it.) They're best known for their main game, GURPS which has been stable with a third edition for many years. Afterwards, he decided to go into business for himself and produced a few games (including his first game, Raid on Iran.) His company didn't 'hit it big' until he produced Car Wars, which is still popular to this day. Steve Jackson's first works were published by Metagaming (including the very popular Ogre wargame/boardgame). Steve Jackson Games was founded in 1980 by Steve Jackson himself. Finally, through 'Illuminati Online,' they also are an ISP to the Austin area. They also sell roleplaying games (not just their own) through their mail-order service, Warehouse 23. In addition, they produce card games (both of the collectable and non collectable variety), board games, wargames, and just about every type of game EXCEPT computer games (they just license their property out for those.) They also publish an online magazine called Pyramid, which covers the entire industry pretty well, not just Steve Jackson's own materials.

It is best known as a manufacturer of role playing games. Steve Jackson Games (commonly abbreviated SJG) is a company based in Austin, Texas.
