Toon from Steve Jackson Games

A silly game with little in the way of rules to get in way of just having absolutely zany fun. A must for any cartoon fan.

Call of Cthulhu from Chaosium, Inc.

Horror roleplaying in the world of H. P. Lovecraft

That is not dead which can eternal lie,
and with strange eons even death may die.

Hong Kong Action Theatre! from Event Horizon Productions

A 'rules-lite' game that's easy to follow. The setting, as it were, requires a little shift in mind set. The characters are actors, and each adventure is meant to be a movie with the characters bidding for roles.

Resources:

• HK Resources (from EHP)

Deadlands from Pinnacle Entertainment Group, Inc.

A unusual, and quite popular, game containing rules that really bring out the 'flavor' of the genre (including use for cards and poker chips).
