Dogs in the Vineyard
I used to have (these were mostly around the mid to late nineties editions with the exception maybe of DnD 3.5)
Call of Cthulu
GURPS
Werewolf: the wild west ( i think thats what it was called... it was the expansion/module/campaign/whatever set in the wild west.)
Star Wars (The West End edition... or at least i think thats what the company was called.)
The End (I have no idea where that book has gone)
Feng Shui
DND 3.5

um. lets see...
Cthulhu Tech
Wheel of Time
Mage: The Ascenscion (technically anyhow. i love it, know it. but i am the only one around who does)
Conspiracy X (weird little game, mostly bought it because it has allot of interesting ideas i can steal. also a system for building your team's secret base)
Dresdin Files (i want to play it SOOOO badly... but my plate is full. still haven't given it a good reading to get the system down)
Robotech (lol, bought it so long ago. never going to play it, i imagine, but its an interesting resource)
Abberant / trinity (tried playing abberant a few times, but it never got off the ground. partly because no-one wants to use the stock setting, so that throws off allot of the games right there)
If you mean Old World of darkness (i think of the new one's as 2.0 and the old ones as just WoD) than changeling is a game with so much potential... but is almost unplayable. so many... odd things with it. lots of trouble for the ST, planning out two worlds and describing them simultaniously (the real world and the dreaming). with house-rules, it can be interesting. good ideas, just allot of issues.

Cyberpunk 2013 (I want to get 2020 but it's hard to find. I am not a fan of v3.)
Probably some others there. I have many more I've played a 1 off game with. I'm interested in getting Earthdawn as I liked running Shadowrun and it's by the same people (at least originally).

Sadly I have a few,
D&D 4th Ed - only got it as I was running the RPG forum over at Heresy and thought I should be able to answer any D&D themed questions.
Mage the Ascension - no one in my gaming group liked it enough to play, although I have played it with a mate years ago, my own books never saw use.
Vampire the Masquerade: Victorian Age - it was only a three or four book print run, but one we've never done.
Exalted - Just never gave it a go for whatever reason.
Hunter the Reckoning - Got them to use as antagonists, although I've never really run them properly, just referenced a couple of powers. Never been used as a PC game though.
Rogue Trader - still not got a game running yet, a fantasy game keeps spiralling along, everytime I think I'm going to take a pause something else pops up and is rolls into another six or seven week arc.
Mummy the Ressurection - Prefer Mummy 2nd edition and still use the mummies as they are in it. The storm never fethed over the Mumies in my WoD, so these two books are a collectors piece and will stay that way.

aaaww Mummy! A friend of mine has both books, I like that game!
For Exalted, you're not loosing much... from the mechanic point of view at least. It's a pain to play it but has an awesome (IMHO) background.
In my wish list there was Scion but I scrapped it when we've made a game a month ago... it's too complicated, has flaws in the mechanics and it's a shrinked version of Exalted :(
I do too have D&D 4th but... I just can't play it. I hate it.

L5R 3rd and the Warcraft 3 D&D 3.5 module are the only ones I own that I haven't played, and that's not for a lack of owning systems.
I've just been lucky in that every time one of us bought a new system(other than when I bought L5R), everyone was willing to play a campaign(or at least a one shot). I also own so many systems cause I like to have my own copies of what we're playing so I can actually know what stuff does.

The Mad Tanker wrote:D20 Star Wars RPG
The pre-Saga Edition versions of this had some definite 'issues.' One of the major issues was Force Powers, which used a mechanic where they caused damage (albeit minor 'vitality' damage) to the user when used... So Jedi had to be very careful when using powers. Multiclassing was very powerful, as characters could get massive save bonuses. Droids as PCs were a bit iffy, too.
I know the Saga edition fixed some of these. From what I heard, they moved force powers to a model similar to D&D 4e's "At-Will" powers, with an option to 'give in to the hate' and refresh powers at the cost of Dark Side points.  Much better and more fun, I hope, although I never got around to it.
