Roll and Move Games?

When I was growing up I can remember playing a lot of roll-&-move style board games, where you roll a die/dice, then move your token that many spaces (and depending on the game, follow the directions indicated on that space).
So far I've discovered two such roll-&-move games here on BGA; Hugo and Ludo, both of which were among the games I grew up playing.
Was just wondering if there are any other games of the roll-&-move genre here on BGA which I could give a try. Thanks!

Some consider Can't Stop roll & move, but it's not the same thing is the traditional ones where you are racing pieces around a board.
Samarkand by the same designer is roll & move.
Formula D is a racing game still in Alpha. Roll custom dice, move your car.
I can't compare these to Hugo or Ludo as I've never played those.

You may check Mountain Goats and That's life as well. And of cause the classic Backgammon.

Ludo, Sorry!, Parcheesi, Wahoo, etc. are all part of a family of games whose rules can be traced back to Pachisi, from ancient India. All great games.
Backgammon is like Ludo except instead of going the same direction, you and your opponent are going against each other's direction. Much more strategic, highly addictive, one of the best games ever invented.
Here's a thread from BGG about the genre:
