I recently came across the game Montsegur 1244, which I think looks rather interesting, and it made me wonder whether there are any other games that centre around a single historical event in that way.

There would seem to be a lot of interesting possibilities - terrorist attacks or political coups in the modern day, or older events like the Great Fire of London, the Salem Witch Trials or the Mutiny on the Bounty. Any known examples published to date?

Holistic Designs has a series of D20 supplements set in contemporary hot spots: Afghanistan, Colombia, and Somalia.

In the mid-eighties a game set in Salem in the 1690's was produced called Witch Hunt; it is long out of print.
