Steve Jackson (UK)
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Steve Jackson (born 1951 in Manchester, England) is a games reviewer and writer. He is one of the best known authors in the gaming industry[citation needed].
In 1975, he founded the company Games Workshop with Ian Livingstone, and the two created the line of the Fighting Fantasy gamebooks published by Penguin Books.
Jackson now works at Lionhead Studios, which he founded with Peter Molyneux. He is also an Associate Professor at Brunel University in London, teaching the Digital Games Theory and Design MA.
He is often mistaken for Steve Jackson, an American RPG designer[1]. The US Jackson also wrote three books in the Fighting Fantasy series, which only adds to the confusion[2].
