Wow! I thought I was the only non-undead person who still remembered that one. It was, I thought, one of the most elegant RPG systems around; that and Dragonquest (3rd or 4th edition) had beautiful character generation systems, magic systems, and combat - the only contemporary that included fatigue in place of D&D style HPs was Runequest, and later Fantasy Hero (by the Champions people).
I remember Powers & Perils too, though I never got into that. My favorite is RuneQuest. No superheroes in that game. I remember Rolemaster too. I consider it nigh unplayable. The best thing about it is that the crit tables make for fun reading.

I recently discovered that many of ICE's products are now available Online as PDFs. I bought Spacemaster out of curiosity, and was sorely disappointed. It's pretty sad when you turn to the section covering space combat and it tells you to buy their award winning Silent Death board game.
