What game best captures "D&D" for you?

Just what the thread title asks. Click a poll option. No flaming, please. No need to explain why you answer as you do. That said, if you choose "other" you may want to explain (and I won't stop you from doing so). Now. . . get clickin!

For the record, I voted "other" as "D&D" for me is a highly house-ruled AD&D1e with AD&D2e THAC0 instead of attack matrices, multi-classing restrictions lifted, no weapon speed modifiers, etc. I actually prefer OD&D and BD&D, but this hybrid system is what I cut my teeth on, so it's what I tend to associate "D&D" with in terms of actual play.

D&D 3.5e, houseruled (a lot ) to suit.

I voted for "3.5e"

D&D 3.5

Well, actually right now it's Castles & Crusades, with a small peppering of house rules and 3E adaptions

I'm a "jump in and play" person, so BD&D. 1st level characters in 3E are not too bad though.

Blue Box Set, the one with the wizard and fighter going up against the red dragon. Why? it was my introduction to the game, back in '77.

I have played D&D since 1978. Each new edition has changed D&D for me, yet kept it definitively D&D. I have loved and enjoyed each edition (although there are always stinker supplements involved with each). When 4e comes out, I suspect it too will "be D&D" for me, and truly define what it is. And I shall still have a fond memory for what it was.

I have played every version of D&D, and while I have nejoyed all of them att the time, I feel 3.5 is the best system for me because it offers the best combination of character creation expertise, tactical combat and roleplaying opportunity.

I enjoy all three parts of the game mentioned above. All editions have offered Roleplaying, but the toehr two were not so present in earlier editions.

All of the above.
