I second (or fifth, or sixth) the endorsements for Swords & Wizardry, its an excellent starting point to get into (or even back into) old-school gaming. S&W is really bare bones D&D and lets you get into the game at a pace that really emphasizes the elements of old-school play detailed in the Primer.From S&W its really easy to slowly develop it into your own custom-made houseruled game (as its often easier to add to a ruleset than take away from it). Or, if you want to explore retros with incrementally more complexity, you can move on to Labyrinth Lord or even higher with OSRIC. Conversely, if you wants things even simpler than S&W, you can go with S&W Whitebox or Microlite74. S&W also has the advantage of having Chgowiz's excellent S&W Quickstart and Reference Sheets available, simple, highly useful quality stuff for the beginning or experienced old-school gamer.There's also a wealth of info and goodies to be found in the old-school blogosphere. Good places to start include Grognardia, Lamentations of the Flame Princess, Jeff's Gameblog, and my own humble offering, Beyond the Black Gate (linked in my sig).Happy Gaming!<img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f642.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=":)" title="Smile    :)"  data-smilie="1"data-shortname=":)" /></blockquote>
