Fwiw, that stuff is definitely still out there, you've just got to find it. A lot of stuff in the OSR scene tends to go in weird directions, of particular note is probably Troika!, a fairly simple game set in a sort of dumping-ground universe for all sorts of wacky creatures and people. The system is based loosely on the underlying system behind the Fighting Fantasy books, and there are lots of hacks and variations, including (for a time, now sold out) one where you play as the characters from Seinfeld.

A review/example of Troikafeld that you can probably use to reconstruct the original Troikafeld game: https://www.prismaticwasteland.com/blog/troikafeld-a-review-and-starting-adventure https://www.prismaticwasteland.com/blog/troikafeld-a-review-...
- matusp 4y agoIs Troika! popular? I had a 1-on-1 session of Troika! and I really enjoyed the vibe, but I found it hard to find people interested in this particular style of play.
- MrJohz 4y agoIn comparison to D&D 5e, unfortunately not so much, but I think that's true of most games, outside perhaps Pathfinder and some regional favourites. I've mainly had success using it for occasional one shots between other games with an existing group. If you're willing to play online, I believe there are a few discord groups where you can find people specifically interested in particular games.
