Old Licensed RPGs

An interesting History of Licensed RPGs multi-part article series. Looking through it here are three RPGs I'd like to own but will never have the chance (barring a lot of money or unusual luck).

Middle Earth Role Playing (1982) - Gorgeous and detailed supplements and I'm quite fine playing the cut-down RoleMaster system. This had a lot of products published for it. Eric R ran a MERP campaign which was fun.

James Bond (1983) - A stylish spy RPG. I'm not as impressed with the system as others but everything else including the adventures-based-on-movies-but-a-little-different was quite cool. Had a fair number of supplements.

DC Universe Roleplaying Game (1999) - West End Games version of a DC Comics RPG. Seven supplements published. Mostly want this to complete my DC Comics RPG collection.
