But, I'll toss in a couple games:Empire of the Petal Throne - set something like 90,000 years in the future, on a planet that has been shunted off into a pocket dimension. No spaceships. Generally a fantasy world, but the planet was only partially terraformed, so there are the indigenous lifeforms, plus a plethora of lifeforms from throughout the star empire the planet used to belong to.Blue Planet - mentioned above, but still worth mentioning again. Set on a planet that can be travelled to from Earth via a wormhole. There is space travel, but not really anything usable by player characters.Twilight: 2000 and Merc: 2000 - both are set in the future (the games were written back in the 80s, originally. T:2000 is set on Earth, in which World War III has just ground down to a halt due to everyone being nuked. M:2000 is set on Earth, also, but is more about the world as we know it, just a few years in the future.Dark Conspiracy - a horror game set on Earth, a few years in the future. Aliens and demons have invaded, but in an X-Files-ish, behind-the-scenes way. Book of the New Sun, for GURPS - set on Earth far in the future. Space travel is possible (but so improbable, for the most part, as to not seem possible) but not by player characters. The Earth (or Urth) is a vastly different place, the differences far too numerous to even begin to mention.</blockquote>
