The Marvel Superheros RPG I used to love playing in the 1990s used a Karma system. It was the 1980s "MSHRPG" made by TSR. Very complex and quite good system, honestly, although I'm not a gaming expert by any means: neither video, nor board games, nor #ttrpgs.
If you were a good guy, doing good things would increase your karma. Doing bad things would decrease or even wipe out your karma.
If you were a bad guy, doing bad things would increase your karma.
There were many times that the heroes would attempt to neutralize a foe but go just a little too far, leading to the villain dying. That would zero out the hero's karma, a phenomenon we liked to call the "Karma Toilet." IIRC, one of us would actually play a
.wavfile of a toilet flushing when it happened, or walk to the nearest bathroom and flush a toilet, or something.Man, the 90s were fun. I really miss constructive boredom and community.
