Default Alliterative RPG Names

Thing I was considering: what RPGs are there with names in the same form as D&D (letter&same letter)? There are a bunch, but I very much doubt an entire alphabet. My initial try:
  • A: ? (Axis and Allies is the normal A&A I'm familiar with, but not an RPG)
  • B: Bunnies and Burrows
  • C: Creeks and Crawdads
  • D: Dungeons and Dragons
  • G: Gunslingers and Gamblers
  • M: Mutants and Masterminds
  • P: Powers and Perils (thx Proteus)
  • T: Tunnels and Trolls
  • V: Villains and Vigilantes

Looking at https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_o..._games_by_name I did find one more (the super obscure Gunslingers and Gamblers)

Depending on where you draw the line on "RPG" there's the Might & Magic video game series. Sword and Sorcery is a board game but clearly draws on the pattern intentionally. And maybe fan implementations of the Papers and Paychecks joke count.

"Starships and Spacemen", a very early SF RPG from FGU. Used Star Trek for a lot inspiration.

They also did "Freedom Fighters", which was sorta like the movie "Red Dawn".

Three to add:
- Castles & Crusades
- Hellcats & Hockeysticks
- Mazes & Minotaurs

Two that are close but may not be close enough:
- Astonishing Swordsmen & Sorcerers of Hyperborea
- Drakar och Demoner (different name in english)

Alliteration & Ampersands (fictional, as far as I know, and I can't remember where it came from)
