In 1989, Steve Jackson Games published a third edition of their GURPS role-playing system.

In the November 1989 edition of Dragon (Issue #151), Jim Bambra thought that this was a good example of "solid support for customers". He believed it would be very useful "if you have the 2nd edition Basic Set and want to upgrade to the 3rd edition with a minimum of expense," but warned that for those who already owned the 3rd edition rules, it would be of much more limited use. [3]
In the June 1989 edition of Games International (Issue #6), James Wallis gave this a double rating: firstly a 4 out of 5 "if you own 2nd edition GURPS and aren't prepared to splash out on the new edition"; and then a 1 out of 5 for everyone else, saying, "If you already have the 3rd edition, or don't play GURPS, it'll be no use to you at all."
