Best edition of Gamma world?

[Randomthoughts]

What was the best edition of Gamma world?

My ideal GW was 7e (with house rules) combined with the lore and "old school feel" of 2e and 4e. I ran it serious, but (obviously) not realistic.

7e is the one based on simplified 4e D&D rules. Like a few others, I dropped rotating Alpha Mutations and house ruled Omega Tech so they were less fire-and-forget. Plus, I HAD to use the classic Artifacts Table. Otherwise, the rules worked perfectly and was easy to GM and make stuff up in terms of mutations, artifacts and creatures.

I think my personal favorite might actually not be Gamma World, but Mutant Future, which is a Gamma World inspired Labyrinth Lord derivative.

Mutant Future is truly a wonderful game.

I'll note that there's a T&T: GammaTrollWorld. Which was published by James Shipman... a notorious-to-the-T&T-fans IP pirate. Other than being an obvious moneygrab, it's not bad. I didn't know he was a pirate at the time I ordered it.
