Isn't that everything that isn't "period?"
I mean if that's the only criteria you'd be better off with TORG and the anarchistic interdimensional anachronism stew. :Þ
"Torg is set in a near future setting, known officially as "the near now." At the game's starting point, this world has been subjected to an interdimensional invasion by a series of "High Lords" who have changed the natural laws of large swaths of Earth to reflect those of their home dimensions. The players assume the role of "Storm Knights", people from Earth and the various invading realms, who possess limited reality altering abilities and oppose the plans of the High Lords.
Player characters were all "Storm Knights." These were people who were able to alter reality in limited ways. Storm Knights came from all of the different realities in the game, but opposed the invaders for various reasons. Some of the Storm Knights were natives of the invaders' home worlds, and some were natives of Earth who had "flipped" to the invaders' reality. A person became a Storm Knight by experiencing a reality crisis which linked them to a particular reality.
The primary way in which Storm Knights were able to shape reality is the ability to impose the rules of their own reality on a limited area of another reality. Each reality, or "cosm," has a set of four "axioms," which delineate what could be achieved under its rules. The most important of these for gameplay were the technological, magical, and spiritual axioms. For ordinary people, violating the laws of a reality is hard, and becomes increasingly impossible over time. For example, when the Neolithic reality of The Living Land invaded North America, soldiers found that their guns and radios no longer worked because the tech-axiom of the cosm only allowed for a Neolithic level of technology. Storm Knights, however, carried their own reality with them. Normally, they could perform under their own reality wherever they went, sometimes requiring a check against their reality skill, the one skill possessed by all Storm Knights, to accomplish feats which particularly violated the rules of a reality."
Current campaign involves a gun-toting cowboy squid monster and his hoverbike riding samurai buddy trying to help a mono-eyed necromancer ogre kid find his adoptive Lich mother who was abducted by Bechtel to raise all the people they killed in Bolivia as an army to invade the Living Land and exploit its 30% freshwater surface. [cough] you can get pretty ridiculous, which is why it's pretty popular in Asia.
Also there's a nifty meta mechanic meant for very large/multiple groups running parallel where rumours spread often enough bend reality on their own to become true, which naturally make the media (and any worlds advanced enough for the net obviously) and any cults in control of them even more dangerous than in real life! (And you thought South Korea had problems before! Persona 2 is a good example of one game which utilised this. Some can be downright comical. It's hard to do but you could potentially wipe someone/thing out of existence if everyone can be convinced they don't actually exist or had recently passed, ala those tabloid celebrity headlines about reclusive actors.)
I think you need this first, followed by 2, 3 and 4! P4 also has an anime based on it, as does P3.
Oops, I got carried away and forgot to add an item....

Granted, if you want to go the legal route, you'll need a PSP w/ CFW to rip the ISO off the UMD yourself. Or you could just buy the games, then download the ISO, and call it a compromise. Or just download the games if you don't particularly care. I'm not your mum.
