Not read many factual RPGs. But back in the 80's, as a Star Wars fan learning lots of the background character names and races from the WEG sourecebooks. WEG wre the ones that named many of these characters and races that have become canon in Star Wars lore.

From the CoC sourcebook Green and Pleasant Land:

"The postal service in the '20s and '30s was much better than it is today. Letter post was cheap and there were several deliveries a day. It was quite possible to post a letter from London to Reading in the morning and receive a reply late in the afternoon".

Even if you take the comparatively low literacy levels of that era into account, it still reads like science fiction to anyone familiar with the modern Royal Mail.

D&D 2 and 5e
D&D 5e - 5.5 improves slightly this but at a price. Starting at Level 2 - 3 fixes this.
FFG Star Wars jedis feel far too weak but only played a single session
Battlebabe, Gunlugger in Apocalypse World 1e & 2e feel a bit overpowered but part of the point of the game is uneven power. The problem is that combat is not really fun but more of an outcome so you get one of these roles started and everyone else can end up dead pretty quick

That on some very old propeller aircraft the camshaft stays still and the engine rotates with the prop attached to it, and not the other way around. (Flying Circus)

I do not have my book in front of me, but I believe the mechanic in 007 is:

1. Bid difficulty for the right to go first.
2. Winning player decides if he is going first or last (sometimes it is advantageous to go first!)
3. First player chooses and resolves maneuver
4. Second player chooses and resolves maneuver
5. GM narrates the result of the maneuvers and determines if the chase is over

So it's not a straight roll for initiative. Instead, both sides are daring the other to see who's willing to do the most risky stuff during the chase.

I learned that there is actually a Great Ghost Dance in the Shadowrun universe that mimicked real life. Even though it hasn't caused volcanoes to erupt but there is such a thing in real life.
