Their best-known games include INWO (INWO), the trading card game of world domination; GURPS, the "Generic Universal Role Playing System"; the original Illuminati game on which INWO was based; TOON?, the cartoon roleplaying game; [Car Wars]?, about battle on the highways; and OGRE?, the classic simulation of future war.

On [March 1st]?, 1990, their offices in Austin, Texas were raided by the [U.S. Secret Service]? as part of a nationwide investigation of data piracy. More than three years later, a federal court awarded damages and attorneys' fees to SJ Games, ruling that the raid had been careless, illegal, and completely unjustified. Cyberpunk popularizer Bruce Sterling discussed the affair in his book The Hacker Crackdown: Law and Disorder on the Electronic Frontier.
