Steve Jackson began his career in games in 1974 as a freelance journalist with Games & Puzzles magazine. They started publishing a monthly newsletter, Owl and Weasel, which was largely written by Jackson, and sent copies of the first issue to subscribers of the recently defunct fanzine Albion. Brian Blume received one of these copies, and sent them a copy of the new game Dungeons & Dragons in return.
Jackson and Livingstone felt that this game was more imaginative than anything being produced in the United Kingdom at the time, and so worked out an arrangement with Blume for an exclusive deal to sell Doctorate&Doctorate in Europe.
In late 1975, Jackson and Livingstone organized their first convention, the first Games Day. While selling game products directly out of their flat, their landlord kicked them out in the summer of 1976 after people kept showing up there looking for an actual store.
At a Games Day convention in 1980 Jackson and Livingstone met Geraldine Cooke, an editor at Penguin. They persuaded her to consider publication of a book about the role-playing hobby.
This was originally intended to be an introductory guide, but the idea of an interactive gamebook seemed more appealing.
After several months Cooke decided that this was viable and commissioned Jackson and Livingstone to develop lieutenant In 1980, Jackson and Livingstone began to develop the concept of the Fighting Fantasy gamebook series, the first volume of which (The Warlock of Firetop Mountain) was published in 1982 by Puffin (a subsidiary imprint of Penguin ). While Fighting Fantasy mainly targeted children, was marketed to an older audience.
Jackson and Livingstone attributed the gamebooks" popularity to their difficulty.
After the success of the Fighting Fantasy series, Jackson designed the first interactive telephone role-playing game, F.I.S.T., which was based loosely on the concepts of the gamebooks. Jackson and Livingstone sold off their stake in Games Workshop in 1991.
In the mid-1990s Jackson spent 2.5 years as a games journalist with the London Daily Telegraph. He then set up computer games developer Lionhead Studios with Peter Molyneux.
Jackson left Lionhead in 2006 when Microsoft bought the company.
He is an honorary professor at Brunel University in London, where he teaches the Digital Games Theory and Design Master of Arts. He is often mistaken for Steve Jackson, an American game designer. The United States Jackson also wrote three books in the Fighting Fantasy series, which adds to the confusion, especially as these books were simply credited to "Steve Jackson" without any acknowledgement that it was a different person. The Warlock of Firetop Mountain (1982) with Ian Livingstone, Puffin 1–4 (1983-1985), Puffin The Citadel of Chaos (1983), Puffin Starship Traveller (1984), Puffin The Tasks of Tantalon.
