The game publishing company releases titles such as Car Wars, Ogre, GURPS, Munchkin and many others. Before opening his own company, Steve Jackson also designed The Fantasy Trip, which was published by Metagaming. The company won a case against the US Secret Service, after a raid (Operation Sundevil) in their offices in 1990. The Electronic Frontier Foundation was created at that time to address this and similar cases. Jackson is a 1974 graduate of Rice University. He is often mistaken for Steve Jackson, a British gamebook and video game writer, by those new to the hobby. The confusion is exacerbated by the fact that while the UK Jackson was co-creator of the Fighting Fantasy Game Books series, the US Jackson also wrote three books in this series.
