And here's one from 2012, where they apparently said it was their favourite game:

Are you referring to the UK Steve Jackson (pic above) or the US Steve Jackson (GURPS)?

Well, I think it could apply to either of them - the UK Steve Jackson (with Livingstone) created the Fighting Fantasy series, which in a way (solo play) did outdo D&D, and was turned into an RPG. Adding to the confusion, the US Steve Jackson also wrote several books for the Fighting Fantasy series.

There was a great picture in an old copy of Space Gamer of the two of them playing tug-of-war with a "Steve Jackson Games" sign. I'll see if I can dig it out.

I had totally forgotten that there are two Steve Jacksons.

I remember a similar picture (probably actually the same picture) in White Dwarf.

If you want to watch the American Steve Jackson playing his game Munchkin, check out the latest episode of Wil Wheaton's show "Tabletop" on YouTube. Here's a link:

Since my scanner appears not to work with Windows 7 (Canon's website effectively says "You can't just use things forever, you know! Hard cheese, pal!") I've had to take a photo of the page from Space Gamer issue 71 (The Tékumel special, as it happens), so apologies for the quality but I think you'll get the idea:
