| The Cloudlords of Tanara | 9 | Great detail, great presentation, plenty of opportunities for adventure, sufficiently isolated to run by itself. |
| Cyberspace | 9 | An excellent game; a more sensible and streamlined version of the Rolemaster with buckets of style. Having played nearly all varieties thereof, possibly the best cyberpunk game available. |
| Mouse Guard Roleplaying Game | 9 | |
| Rolemaster Companion VI | 9 | A consolidation of existing rules and an elaboration that is consistent. Alternative genre elements (gothic fantasy, science fantasy, high-level spells) useful for those who use such material - not so much for others. |
| RuneQuest | 9 | |

| Call of Cthulhu | 8 | |
| Dark Space | 8 | Replace cybernetics with biotechnics, add a State Religion and a State Company, outlaw most technologies, add more than a sprinkle of magic/psionics and top it off with aliens whose ships are alive. |

| Claw Law | 5 | Superior to Arms Law as it classifies damage according to weapons size. One of the first games to recognise the devastation that animal attacks can cause against poorly armoured opponents. |

| Character Law | 4 | Not recommended for contemporary play, but did at the time provide an alternative to restrictive character classes. |

| Arms Law | 3 | Not always a consistent system, some oddities in armour ratings. Has an interesting distinction between "hits" and "crits", but one table per weapon is far too many! |
