Overview
Hacker is a dedicated deck card game for 3–6 players published by Steve Jackson Games (SJG) in 1992.
History
In early 1990, SJG was developing a game called GURPS Cyberpunk. On March 1 of that year, the company 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. In the court case that followed, the Secret Services justified their actions by calling GURPS Cyberpunk "a handbook for computer crime".
In 1992, SJG made a card game called Hacker based on the Secret Service's beliefs.
