 Agreed.  My DnD group will play off-games every other month or so, and they loved classic Deadlands - especially that you had to use tons of dice, poker chips and a deck of cards.  (They also managed to end in a TPK when the guy playing a decidedly non-technical brave managed to get all ones while fiddling around with a massive weird science device).
 I should probably throw in Twilight: 2000, but that's more of a love of the highly detailed setting and the Bradstreet illos than playing/running it.

Classic, but if we ever get back to it we will probably go Reloaded, because it is easier, and the GM has Murder on the Hellstromme Express.  Though, if ever I have some ideas for a game I might use classic.

EDIT: One of the things I liked about classic is that my D12s don't have to sit in the corner and cry themselves to sleep at night.

If D12's weren't such fickle bitches, maybe someone besides Classic (and 3rd edition D&D Barbarians with Great Axes) would love them.

shoot, i created a whole city and scenario fit for our game just cuz i liked the character i was playing so much, Ghost Rock Mclintok's home town was filled with his family's arms company (made any kind of shell imaginable such as explosive rounds, flachette, acid, lightening, stun bullets, sleeping gas, and everything in between) actually made up their "ammo bible" that i created as a catalogue for fellow people in the game if they ever wished to purchase any of the specialty wares, a church secretly devoted to the teachings of the church of la (and who fed stragglers as food at sunday worship), a voodoo swinging gravedigger and all sorts of other goodies...looking back...i really need to run that...

While SR is my favorite game, I am a HUGS Battletech fan (seeing how I found this place while on their forum), and am a recent convert to Pathfinder.
AWWWW! I like to hug my 'mechs too! ;)

Note to self....never post with youngling on lap with less than four hours sleep.  :D

Assault mechs FTW. They're so cuddly! :3

Steiners seem to think so.  ;)

Why in the frag did they put ME in charge?

Though I'm more of a clan rat myself. Bigger shoot-shoot-bang-bang-boom-boom-WHEEEEE! That's pretty much all it takes. A GAUSS TO THE HEAD SHOULD TAKE IT CLEAN OFF DAMNIT! XD

Merc brat ATW! Of course, when you're the grandson of Dr. B. Banzai... (What can I say, I like my iconic characters in both settings ;))

Funny thing... First game of BattleTech I ever played was a grand melee (32 players) at a con where I ran around with a lowly Panther (we all started with light mechs). Two rounds in, BLAM! - Killed by a head shot from a PPC.

I was hooked ever since.

The first game I of BT ever played, I had a Wolverine and DFAed my friend's ShadowHawk killing us both.  I managed to not only hit his 'Mech, but hit it in the head.  Problem was, he was at the edge of a cliff and we took a bit of a tumble which ended with me landing on my head.  It was pretty funny.

First BT game I played, I was running a '25 Phoenix Hawk. I literally ended up disarming a Commando in one round, and blowing out the leg of a Warhammer two rounds later. Like Jack, I was hooked. Although truth be told, Im more of an aerospace fan.

Shadowrun, Earthdawn, Metabarons and Agone are my favourite four, but I would be very surprised if any of you ever heard about Agone and Metabarons.
Me am french, me am not speaking good english, but me am trying to correct this.

Agone, I have. Can't say I have heard about Metabarons though.
It's not the one with your name on it; it's the one addressed "to whom it may concern" you've got to think about.

I just checked 'em.  They are both based upon French settings.  No wonder I never heard of them, I don't hear about all the US ones even.
There is no overkill.

Only "Open fire" and "I need to reload."
