Other than that, Exalted, L5R, and a little bit of everything under the sun.
I'm sort of in the same boat. Started with Iron Crown's Cyberspace around 1990, then got GURPS not long after. Played Riddle of Steel, Big Eyes Small Mouth, and a handful of others. Then played D&D for the first time and found it to be amazingly dull.

Of the universal games I have any experience with, I'd put GURPS on one end of the crunch spectrum, FATE on the other end, and BESM/TriStat pretty much in the middle.
