Using HF/6-31G* GAMESS and Gaussian provide the same ESP grid
(Connolly surface or CHELPG algo.) _if_ the molecular orientation of
the structure used in MEP computation are the same.

You clearly have a problem.

You could try to run R.E.D. http://q4md-forcefieldtools.org/RED/
You have to prepare a p2n file...
