I would recommend Dark Tower if it is available: it is probably the best AD&D adventure I have ever seen - sort of like what Temple of Elemental Evil could/should have been. It has all sorts of cool traps, weird and dangerous adversaries (such as Haffrung Helleyes, a wizard who lives in the bodies of others) and plenty of action even for the most jaded dungeoneer.
There is also the Book of Treasure Maps series: three books with a collection of small adventures you can assign to treasure maps found in an enemy's hoard. The first one is the best, but you can find plenty of ideas from the others as well.
From the others, Citadel of Fire and Thieves of Fortress Badabaskor (cool title!) are the best I know of. They are both early JG titles, and they need some amount of rewriting for today's gamers, but the ideas inside are still solid gold (Badabaskor is the better one, Citadel of Fire is more developed though).
Last but not least, Ready Ref Sheets is indeed a useful play aid: I still use the random ruins table therein, as well as the taxation, mining and quest assignment guidelines. You can also use it to pretty much play the one true game (that is, OD&D) with it, as the booklet contains all attack and save charts, plus even a collection of all official OD&D monsters from the white box and its supplements!

Tegel Manor was up? I thought the rights to that were hopelessly tangled. That's one of my favorite maps in a module (the module doesn't quite hold up to time, but is easily usuable with some major adjustments).
A shame it's drive through. My Windows 98 computer leaves me out of any purchases for these.

I hope Caverns of Thracia is up there soon.

Well, Necromancer games is coming out with a 3rd Edition verison of Caverns of Thracia; I don't know if that means the old version will or won't be made available.Derulbaskul said:

Well, I don't completely understand the Windows 98 issues (I believe there are different versions of Win 98) but my home computer has Win 98 currently. I run Adobe Reader 6, and download DRM files, fine.

That's what I'm afraid of. I've been waiting so long for the updated version of CoT that I would just like the old one now to tide me over until it finally arrives in Oz....
