The elegant task resolution mechanic (roll against attribute, add or subtract dice for difficulty or skill) is outstanding. The game has lots of features that come up again and again on gamers faves lists: Point-buy character attributes. Diverse skill (talent in TFT) system. Strong archetypes without a cumbersome, restrictive class system. Armor as DR. Called shots and disable options. Flexible enough to handle sci-fi tropes.I remember playing Melee and Wizard as an alternative to Dungeons and Dragons largely because of the portability of the minigames - I owned the two advanced books and In the Labyrinth, but never really played them, as D&D was the group consensus pick for fantasy genre adventures, and we also played other roleplaying games like Traveller and Top Secret, so I didn't really make the effort to introduce it to my friends.
