Or how about Stargate / SG1 / Atlantis / Universe?
Stargate SG1 is already a licensed game.
Bunnies and Burrows never was a good Watership Down game. It was more like a run-of-the mill fantasy game, with characters in rabbit costumes.

Wow, so it is - did not know Modihphius had picked it up.
Much in the same way when Bruce Sterling coined the word cyberpunk, he was immediately assigning it to Gibson and Bladerunner eventually gets put under it's heading (though folks would more accurately describe it as a precursor to Cyberpunk).
Stranger Things is already a D20 5E game - no need for that on YZE […]
Now, for a game that probably does have an audience these days, why not Eclipse Phase on YZE
Has there ever been a Mad Max game? I'm sort of surprised. Back in the original trilogy's day, post apocalyptic TTRPG was definitely a popular genre, though I think most licensed film properties were largely US MPAA rated "PG" films as opposed to R, and so maybe there was some resistance.I would love to see Free League put out a licensed Mad Max RPG. Yes, I know, MYZ is already post-apocalyptic, but something set in the Mad Max universe (with Free League's incredible art) would probably be an easier sell for my players. I'll let the company decide what system would work best for it.
That's pretty much the only remaining property that would be an insta-buy for me.
To my knowledge, there has never been a Mad Max RPG. I used to play Car Wars back in the 80s, but as you said, that was closer to a board game than RPG.Has there ever been a Mad Max game?

That said, I think Mad Max would be easily adapted from the existing T2K rules with a revision or expansion for high speed vehicular combat (and maybe fudge up the combat for more cinematic flare). You got the effects of radiation and famine already in that game. The original T2K had a supplement Howling Wilderness that definitely took the United States of T2K and put it on a Mad Max trajectory.
I remember people used to claim Car Wars was the Road Warrior, but tech levels were very different, though I remember Car Wars did eventually have a supplement for gas vehichles (Car Wars cars are presumptively electric) and I think another with more primitive weaponry and suspensions and chasis. Though there was a GURPS supplement for the world, Car Wars was really more a board game or cardboard "miniatures" game than TTRPG.
I forget what Austrialia's standing was in during the Twilight War. I think in the original, they're a presence among the functioning militaries in the Persian Gulf, and I want to say there was some sort of Pacific supplement for T2K but that might have been a fan product.
