Subject: File 4--"Sun Devil" becomes new SJG Game

In 1990, the Secret Service raided Steve Jackson Games when a "hacker
hunt" went out of control. Loss of our computers and unfinished game
manuscripts almost put this company out of business.

It's been two years. We're back on our feet. And ever since the raid,
fans have been asking "When are you going tdo make a game out of it?"

Okay. We give up. Here it is.

In HACKER, players compete to invade the most computer systems. The
more systems you crack, the more you learn, and the easier the next
target is.  You can find back doors and secret phone lines, and even
crash the systems your rivals are using. But be careful. There's a
Secret Service Raid with your name on it if you make too many enemies.

Designed by Steve Jackson, the game was based on the award-winning
ILLUMINATI. To win at HACKER requires guile and diplomacy. You must
trade favors with your fellow hackers - and get more than you give
away. But jealous rivals will try to bust you. Three busts and you're
out of the game. More than one player can win, but shared victories
are not easy!

HACKER is for 3-6 players. Playing time is under an hour for the short
game and about 2 hours for the regular game. Components include a rule
book, 110 cards, marker chips, 6 console units, system upgrades, Bust
markers and Net Ninja marker, two dice and a ziplock bag.

Hacker begins shipping March 30, and has a suggested retail price of
$19.95.
