Absolutely none of the 'H' modules, though I remember going to the Forbidden Planet in the city, back when they had a basement full of back issues of comics and gaming stuff and looking at H1 and really wanting it - but I always walked out with something else instead.

I ran L1 in my Aquerra "The Oath" campaign and it was a whole lot of fun, though 2 PCs were killed, and I cut out the whole charm/curse room in the lower level.

I ran L2 (which I owned before L1) way back in the day, and I still own it - but while when I first ran it it taught be a lot about running a mystery adventure, looking back at it nowadays it seems pretty pedestrian and doesn't take into account divination magics that can make the mystery less mysterious. Maybe I'll look it over again. I need a good urban mystery adventure.

N1 is perhaps the best D&D adventure of all time. I love it, and I also ran it for The Oath campaign - all the PCs but 2 died.

N2 is another great one, though my copy has a misprint. The outside cover/map reads: "4 to 6 characters of levels 1 to 4" , but on the inside front cover it says "Adventure for 5 to 10 characters of Levels 4 to 8". I always ran it for 1 to 4 and the PCs would get crushed. I also played in it once.

Anyway, I not only ran it twice in Aquerra (one group failed and then years later in another campaign set slightly back in time, the current PCs were able to intersect with the events of the first attempt (new players) - and the module became the seed for my homebrew's Kingdom of Neergaard, which is still ruled by King Edmund the Young to this day.

I both played and ran S2 back in the foggy days - but hope to adapt it and run it in Aquerra one day.

Ran H1-3 mostly as written, threw out H4 and redid the entire conclusion. These modules (and the setting) were an important part of my longest-running campaign.
 

L1 and L2 were some of my early favorites, as was Against the Cult of the Reptile God. I played those numerous times through the years when I was younger. S1-S4 - I still have a copy of the compendium that included all 4 adventures, and played through them at some point. Loved Bone Hill and Assasin's Knot, though.

Against the Cult of the Reptile God is absolutely my favourite 1e module. Just a brilliant module. Sweet mix between the town and the adventure, everything ties nicely together.

Here's hoping Orlane is the mystery town of 4e. :)
 

Assassin's Knot I ran for my group when they were IIRC 4th level or so.

I wasn't able to (=too lazy) work in some of the things like the neutral adventuring party or the octopus in the lake or whatnot. I really wish there was more than just two types of traps in the adventure, though.

I ran Tomb of Horrors as a one-shot. Six 13th level characters, ran by not-retarded people blew it out of the water. I still believe it's not that hard, it really just would take some good luck by a 9th level party and some good old-fashioned thinking.

White Plume Mountain was fun. My guys drained it out early on and that made it a lot easier for them. Also, the fact that Orcs in my world can breathe water helped too.

Edit: Balls! This isn't chitzk0i, this is VirgilCaine, I'm his brother (he's not heavy...).
 

Sort of "played" H1 with my sister. She was nine at the time and more interested in the little cardboard figures being copies of Robin Hood & co. Needless to say, we quickly moved away from the plot and into a "how many times can we rescue the princess" type game.
