The fallback

You just missed a chance to pimp OD&D, that's all. Merely a jest.
Well, I posed some choices to my players for the campaign type. The choices were:
D&D in a world of my design (Babylon5 emulation)
LUG: StarTrek
ShadowRun 2E (got the books)
The players chose D&D. I'm having fun with it, so I don't need a fallback. When my campaign is done (2 more years-ish), then I'll resubmit the question.

Jester and Diaglo mentioned 2 of my favorite tabletop games, so I have to speak up.
Roborally- Excellent game, now out of print..BUT there are rumors of a new edition in the works! Keep your eyes open, Jester!
Chainmail- I love this game...I invested many hundreds of $$$ in it, even as it was being cancelled (WOTC Schmucks). I got some killer deals on it, too, as much as 80% on some minis. Bought Dwarven Forge stuff to design great setups. Then my game group expected me to do 100% of all setup, including designing and allocating warbands. (Gamer Schmucks.) I can't get into the plastic minis of D&D Miniatures game, even if its substantially the same game as Chainmail. However, Rackham (Non-Schmucks) has Confrontation- which is essentially a metric version of Chainmail- and the minis are EXCELLENT. Recently, Rackham has released an English-language version of the game, so you don't have to convert everything from metric/French (like I was doing).

Well, usually if DnD isn't an option then any RPG is also not an option.
If, however, it is because others have some favorite RPG that they have, I'll go with that. I'm always up for new RP systems.
Oh, and I'd like to know about "What beats a fish?" if it isn't too much trouble.
Just enough trouble.

If it was a long term fallback, it'd be WFRP, Ars Magica or Shadowrun. Possibly Star Wars or Spycraft if I was in the mood for D20.
For a session or two, most likely board games - 1 player has a huge selection of cool and kooky games. If it was an RPG, something simple and quick to get started - paranoia, feng shui or possibly cyberpunk.

Heh!
I end up falling back to D&D/D20/OGL more often than I get to run what I consider the first line games...
In no particular order:
Ars Magica
Changeling: the Dreaming
Call of Cthulhu
Vampire: the Dark Ages (not Dark Ages: Vampire...).
