I've heard Tales of the Caliphate Nights from Paradim Concepts is a pretty good Arabian historical fantasy setting; it even won honorable mention as best product in the 2007 ENNIES.

NOW LIVE! Into the Woods--new character species, eerie monsters, and haunting villains to populate the woodlands of your D&D games.
Any other good alternate history RPGs out there?

Twilight 2000 or Dark Conspiracy. GDW's gone but I think you can pick up the pdfs from rpgnow. (Don't recall who licensed Twilight 2013).
Call of Cthulhu. Or for more Alien Space Bats and Other Magic there's Torg.
A WW2 point of departure based rpg...Reich Star (set in a future where the Nazis and Nippon win). I wouldn't call the rules decent but it's solidly alt history.
Hrmm...mayfair games' Underground. Technology from a crashed alien spaceship allows humanity to make superhumans in the near future (grim & satirical). The Castle Falkenstein core rulebook is prettier but it really is a colorful book.
Adventure! in White Wolf's trinity universe (or Aberrant for that matter).

2 of my favorite alt histories -
1. Ars Magica. Have to agree with the above poster, truly excellent system, and one which leads to having games that truly go to epic campaigns. Current game going 1.5 years.
I like to explain it like this: Europe in 1220 where the myths are true. Angels save, demons corrupt, faeries try to trap you and magic exists. Great setting, though some of the extra books are a little hit/miss.
2. Godlike: Great fun! Supers game in WW2, focus on the WW2. Could be run as a normals with teeny powers game or a higher power level. Expect some deaths.
