Which RPGs can be called "Arnesonian" in flavour?

I am thinking about games Arneson worked on as well as games inspired by his works.

Some examples:

D&D
Adventures in Fantasy
Dragons at Dawn
Adventurer Conqueror King System

Any others? I guess we could include all the clones, but are some more worth mentioning than others?

Not a lot of rules in this one though, you basically are playing a comic book hero.

and

Don't Give Up the Ship. I have a hunch that most of the core mechanics for this game came from Dave.
