Here is a tentative list :

Mage
Witchcraft<<<

It's odd, but my experiences with Mage just don't gel with UA. Maybe I've 
only played high-powered games.

 >>>Nephilim
Kult
Call of Cthulhu
Whispering Vault

these enter in the occult category, although magic is not the primary
focus of these games<<<

The primary focus of each of those games (CoC the least) is the existence of 
horrifying supernatural entities that could overwhelm humanity, which is at 
best a weak race and at worst an accident or experiment.

Mind you, I really enjoy each of them (except Kult, which I've only played 
once) but they seem very much divorced from the "humans are powerful and 
important" idea that I really enjoy in UA.

Things I've played recently or would leap at a chance to play again include 
D&D, Call of Cthulhu, Runequest, Elric!, The Whispering Vault, Nephelim, DC 
Heroes, Marvel SAGA, Skyrealms of Jorune, Harn, Mage, Wraith, Changeling, 
Everway, and perhaps Talislanta.
