Retro Game Systems / Retro Science Fiction and Horror RPGs / Help picking out a sci-fi/horror game

I recently got my girlfriend hooked on playing RPG's with me. We're currently playing Labyrinth Lord, but I think she wouldn't mind trying out a new game every now and then. She's really interested in things like UFO's, ghost sightings, and the supernatural in general - so I was thinking of introducing her to Call of Cthulhu (in a modern setting), but I wanted to ask if anyone had any other ideas of RPG's we could try. Ideally, it would be a game set in contemporary times with a sort of X-Files/Ghost Hunters/Torchwood sort of feel to it. Any ideas?

To answer the thread's subject question: I don't think there's anything wrong with not liking current RPG's, but I say be wary of instantly turning your nose up at any new RPG just because it's new. I know the current trend with games seems to be gravitating towards the CCG/MMORPG crowd, but I'm sure there's got to be one or two quality products being produced every now and then.

Let's see here...
I started with the black box when I was a wee lad, and quickly adopted the Rules Cyclopedia after that. I had a go at B/X too, although because I was so young I really couldn't tell much of a difference between the various editions of CD&D.
Moved on to 2nd edition AD&D, then went back to try 1st edition AD&D. I like them both, despite their differences. Played with many, many of the 2nd edition campaign settings: Forgotten Realms, Planescape, Dark Sun, Al-Qadim, and my favorite -- Ravenloft.
Never bothered with anything past 2nd edition. I've glanced at the 3rd edition rules, but I have no interest.
Recently got invovled in a Labyrinth Lord game, which is for all intents and purposes, the Moldvay B/X version in disguise.

I love westerns. I have also yearned for a good western RPG to play for quite some time. As much as I like Boot Hill, it's mostly for nostalgic reasons. I think it's hard to get into some of them because they're so combat heavy and too concerned with the rules for gunfighting, thus the rest of the game suffers.

Matthew here. 24 year old Brit deposited in Phoenix, Arizona. Fan of the following (forgive me if I forget one or two games): CD&D, AD&D 1st and 2nd editions, WRFP, MERP, Toon, Deadlands, Top Secret, Boot Hill, Call of Cthulhu, Gamma World, Shadowrun, Labyrinth Lord and Mutant Future (even though I've yet to play a game of MF). I'm also secretly a fan of Castle Falkenstein, but don't tell anyone.
I seem to only get along with players much older than myself. Don't know why exactly, but the groups I've played in, I'm always the youngest.
Currently running a LL game with my girlfriend and an AD&D 2nd edition pbp game with some friends.
