History
In 1990, SJG was raided by the United States Secret Service as part of a nationwide investigation of data piracy. The agents took computers, printers, hard drives, at least one pocket calculator, over 300 floppy disks, and an entire BBS server. It turns out that another game in development by SJG, GURPS Cyberpunk was considered by investigating agents of the Secret Service to be "a handbook for computer crime" and that justified their actions against SJG. In 1992, SJG made a game out of this fiasco, and Hacker was born.
