tbf being a Metabaron would be pretty boring and terrible too. You could probably make a Cards Against Humanity style character-creation system, but after that it's like okay you're an unstoppable warrior whose main motivation is to have children so you can mutilate them and then they grow up and murder you. OTOH making a game based on The Incal also belongs in the your terrible ideas thread

didn't realize metabarons used the old west end games d6 system ... was going to pop on the thread earlier to say that i thought that the old d6 star wars was the perfect sci fi RPG
i have a soft spot for star frontiers, as that was the first RPG i ever bought (1983 iirc)
although i could never get a game going! so i suppose that is my favorite RPG i never played

my group was actually playing d6 star wars for a few months but we just switched to d&d 5E which is awesome
Paranoia
i have owned old editions of paranoia and currently have a copy of paranoia XP chilling on the game shelf. played a few times. reading the books is very entertaining, i found it hard to run a game that lived up to that level of funny
Toon
used to own, played a few times. again, found it hard to be as creative and funny as, say, warner bros cartoons. also makes you realize how much cartoons depend on visual humor / mood setting which is difficult to convey in an RPG
Car Wars
good board game. i had car wars / boat wars / air wars. i believe there was an RPG called "autoduel" but i never owned that. didn't play a whole lot of this or battletech. the paper pieces were just too flimsy and the rules too fidgety. we always ended up playing WH40K instead. the pieces had a reassuring solidity.
