[edit] History
In 1975, Steve Jackson founded the company Games Workshop with Ian Livingstone, and the two created the line of the Fighting Fantasy gamebooks published by Puffin Books (a subsidiary label of Penguin Books).
Jackson now works at Lionhead Studios, which he founded with Peter Molyneux. He is also an honorary lecturer at Brunel University in London, teaching the Digital Games Theory and Design MA.
He is often mistaken for Steve Jackson, an American role-playing game designer.[1] The US Jackson also wrote three books in the Fighting Fantasy series, which only adds to the confusion.[2]
