That's a good one, Kerry. I'll give it a go, but remember - I'm an American,
so I'm sure to leave out many venerable UK games...

In no particular order: Starmaster*, Tribes of Crane, Starweb, Empyrean
Challenge*, Midgard, Beyond the Stellar Empire, Victory!, Supernova (I or
II), Adventurer Kings*, and Feudal Lords. The ones with the * I actually
have played - the others I know by strong reputation, and have seen rules
and turn results for all of them. Of that list, the most complicated was,
doubtless, Empyrean Challenge. I'd have to say that some were ultimately
heartbreakers, usually through failings of the GM: Starmaster, Tribes of
Crane, Midgard, and BSE (though the latter is doing much better I hear under
the wing of Rolling Thunder Games). Most elegant, I think, was AK.

My 2 cents, anyhow.
