RuneQuest was great. Always saw a big RuneQuest influence in GURPS.

Well, maybe a little, but the real influence on GURPS was Metagaming's "The Fantasy Trip" (aka Melee/Wizard) -- not surprising because Steve Jackson (the US one, not the UK one) was the main designer of both "The Fantasy Trip" and GURPS.
