I have not seen Atlantasia, and am going strictly on Mike's description from December 1. It sounds quite interesting, but I do have one quibble regarding how unique "rules for everything" including equipment and skill deterioration. I know of one, Mythworld, which has all this and more. Scenarist material includes weather probability, and even earthquakes and volcano eruptions. It dates from 1985 and is currently undergoing a new edition which is more expansion than revision because the rules have held up that well. (A great bunch of loophole-hunting test players are responsible for that.) I suspect there are other such games, mostly if not entirely, self-published indies. I am familiar with Mythworld mainly because I created it (with the aforementioned testplayer help). The old version, with a separate book of changes/additions so far, is still in print.
