Even has chainmail. It is interesting to see how it evolved.

Heh heh heh ... I get a kick out of it whenever the game is referred to in the past tense, as if nobody played it anymore.    Cheesy
Admittedly, it's no longer the most popular edition, but it's far from a dead game ...

Knights & Knaves is probably the most canonical of the bunch, and a great resource on rules interpretations.

Swords & Wizardry
is a flurry of activity, still producing resources for the game.

Dragonsfoot, with thousands of members, is by far the largest (and so the least "focused") of the bunch, but it shows how active the older versions still are.

OD&D Discussions is another good site for rules clarifications and it's fairly productive in creating new material as well.

There are two magazines dedicated to the original editions:

That's not 4th & 1st amongst gaming material, that's against all published products at Lulu.

Historical indeed.   Grin
