I played Call of Cuthulu just yesterday. It's pretty fun. It's a lot more focused on mystery solving then combat.

At last, my childhood tendency to collect generic RPG rulebooks when I could find nobody to play with me proves useful.
To date, I have refereed one RPG ruleset:
Forgotten Futures. The rules are designed mostly for scenarios set in Victorian through interbellum times, whether fantasy, steampunk or mundane, but they are quite flexible in principle. The author himself has
adapted the rules to suit Flatland, which is what first attracted me to them. It is designed to use only d6.
Other generic rulebooks in my collection and freely available online include
FUDGE, the diceless
Active Exploits and the rather silly
Risus.
