Little Fears is a cool lil' game. it is very dark and deals with such ooky topics like child abuse and neglect that initially made me shy away from the game, but in small doses it is creepy and genuinely scary, even more so than the legendary Call of Cthulhu. In the one extended game I played in, all of the children died (or disappeared) but one, and that one ended up coming home without a soul and with a malignant spirit festering deep within her brain that will manifest when she hits puberty.
Teenagers From Outer Space, IS one of those games so silly that is fun. I just like that sort of thing. If you geek out on stuff like Ranma 1/2 or Project A-Ko, this is for you. The game system is so simple and yet so comprehensive and quick that it can be adapted to just about any other genre (such as superhero) as long as you don't want a game that is too serious.
V&V was the very first RPG I ever played, and at the time super-heroes were my life (I was like 12). Actually I know of a lot of people who didn't like the fact that their characters were based on them, but personally I thought it was a great touch. Part of the fun is playing a character that DOES have some low stats. Remember, the vast majority of Marvel heroes cranked out in the 60's and 70's had distinct physical or social weaknesses. Peter Parker was a science geek who didn't relate well to his classmates. Tony Stark made his first suit of armor to help power his failing heart. Bruce Banner was a scrawny pencil-neck who was more comfortable with genetic bombs than with people. Steve Rogers was a frail nobody who volunteered for an experiment that could just have easily have killed him as given him physical perfection. The best characters, I've always felt, were not the heroes who were above the mean in their civilian IDs, but those who were just average Joes (I always loved Luke Cage in particular, just another two-bit ex-con who happened to get super powers in prison).
Yeah, it is pretty embarrassing to have a character that is, in effect, YOU, get stuck with low rolls because of what others assign to you. I ended up with a strength of 7 (hey, I was 12), but I just parlayed it into a positive by focusing on powers that didn't require any great physical strength. If I'd wanted to, I could always have just picked a level or two of Enhanced Strength and BAM, I coulda been a contendah! As it was, I ended up with Cat's Eye, a character that I ended up playing in nearly every super-hero game in one form or another since I was twelve.
