Thought I’d write up a short list of RPG systems I still own, in the order I find them on the shelves I’m looking at.

Played and run, a lot. The first few years of my roleplaying were dominated by D&D. - Advanced Dungeons and Dragons (1st Edition)
Mostly messed about with this. I don’t have the Players Handbook, not sure I ever did. I seem to recall we hacked some adventures together by mixing this up with the D&D stuff we did. - Call of Cthulhu d20
Don’t think I ever ran this in the end, I preferred the original rules. - Judge Dredd d20

Played it very briefly, didn’t really get into it that much. - EverQuest Role Playing Game
