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.
