Monkey I loved it as a kid, and saw some recently and loved them still, though I have no idea why - prehaps its the strangeness, or those sideburns.....
Rather than just a Monkey game, the idea mostly around these parts is that a proper oriental style RPG, with all kinds of mythical chinesse and japanese funking about was the order of the day (Something that could do Monkey, The Water Margin, Crouching Tiger, Storm Riders).
Legend of the 5rings is great, but a bit dour I want it to be more crouchy dragon style, rather than quasi-mystical samurai posturing.
