Games that you can't believe don't exist.

[Reynard]

Not necessarily games that you wish existed -- although they are not mutually exclusive ideas -- but games that you really think should exist and are really surprised they don't.

For my part, ever since a friend introduced me to Naval War, I have been astounded that a modern, glossy version attached to some sci-fi property does not exist. Everything from Star Trek to Star Wars to the recent BSG to even Buck Rogers could be mined for a space version of Naval War, with almost no rule changes.

The other one is I am surprised there is no movie-verse specific Marvel "adventure game." I know MWP has the Marvel RPG license, but they are putting out oops or years old crossovers when the Avengers film continuity is obviously where Marvel is big right now and doesn't show any signs of slowing down. Who knows, maybe there will be a movie-verse supplement out in the next year or two.

It'd be like old Traveller, up to eleven.

Warhammer 40k the RPG

Actually, wouldn't that be Dark Heresy/Rogue Trader/Deathwatch?

I want an official Aliens (vs. Predator) RPG. There was one made way back when, but I can't even seem to find a copy on e-bay.

Also, to run for my son, I'd like a My Little Pony, GI Joe (well, that's one for me mostly) and a Pokemon game. I can get by with BESM, but it's crazy WotC never put out a Pokemon RPG back when it had the card game license and Hasbro hasn't at least tried some of their own toy lines get made into RPGs (Battleship - the RPG; or at least a tabletop war game).

Warhammer 40k the RPG

Warhammer 40,000: Rogue Trader (1987). Still the most detailed fluff ever published on the setting. Quite dated, but that's okay if you don't mind setting the adventure in olden times.
