Kayso I took a notebook with me in the car today and I wrote down some -- -- no, my wife was driving. And anyway, I did this in the parking lot at JoAnn Fabrics. ANYWAY, I wrote down some ideas, as they came to me, for games I could run with MS&PE. I reproduce them here for your amusement:
- Private eyes investigating a covert alien invasion in 1940s Hollywood
- 1980s high pulp -- Miami Vice meets Buckaroo Banzai
- The A-Team -- crack squad of troubleshooters who get stuff done without the cops catching on
- Delta Green
- INTERPOL develops an enforcement division, and you're it
- A privately-funded intelligence/counter-terrorist organization; PCs are agents
- Meddling kids with a talking dog
- Interplanetary P.I.s -- Blade Runner meets Northwest Smith
- DG-esque: PCs are members of a secret society that battles the modern-day forces serving an ancient Aztec evil
- STARGATE: 1941
- P.I.s in a 1930s NYC with technology at 1990s capabilities (vacuum tube computers, early robots, etc.)

Jan Hammer vs Michael Boddicker: Keytars at the ready, Moogs set to stun!
For plot lines maybe you can solve the mysteries of why there is no true BB soundtrack, or who gave the approvals that resulted in the Miami Vice Theme video (or payola that got it played on MTV)? I blame JJ Jackson and Alan Hunter.

(Hope it's OK to post on a thread from January '11!)
You get an exalt just for the sign and drive image, and the meddling kids and talking dog reference. (oh, yeah, and the whole list thing too.)
I just discovered an interest in the game, although I knew about it in the '80s, so I'm late again, as with many things.
Cool list, man.
