How 'bout one of each?

--

We had the BattleTech game, where the party infiltrated the Chancellor's residence on Sian, killing Maximilian and Romano Liao in 3027, and putting a pro-Davion Candace Liao on the throne. Needless to say, vast chunks of the metaplot had to be thrown out as they occurred (this was in the late '80s to early '90s).

That wasn't their plan, but funny how it worked out.

We had the post-apocalypse, GURPS survival game where one of the characters, as a mutation, had two heads and three arms. In a Zardoz-esque moment, he decided, after being struck by a gold brick, that he was none other than Zaphod Beeblebrox. The survival game took a turn into questing fantasy as he led the party in search for a lemon in an attempt to reconstruct the recipe for the Pan Galactic Gargle Blaster. (They had a gold brick, they just needed a lemon to wrap around it--he was sure being struck in the heads by that would return his memory.)
