[QUOTE="Libertad, post: 8312519, member: 6750502"] I own copies of C&C and OSE, but haven't read Low Fantasy Gaming, so my answer is rather incomplete. Castles & Crusades is still going strong and it may have been errata'd, but during the time I read it the underlying math of the SIEGE engine was screwed up. As a "rules-lite/old-school D&D" system, other OSR games quickly occupied my interest, a lot of them broadly compatible with each other and official TSR modules. Although one of the newer retroclones, Old School Essentials continues on in the footsteps of games like Labyrinth Lord and Swords & Wizardry, but with stellar layout and reader-friendliness. Castles & Crusades was meant to be a stripped-down version of the D20 system, and so has its inception lodged during the 3rd Edition era. I've long since moved on from 3.5 and Pathfinder, and find OSR and 5e games a lot more approachable. Thus OSE is the best choice of the 3 for me. [/QUOTE]
