I decided to catalog my collection of D&D games. I'm starting with all the boxed sets I currently own.
Now we have the most recognizable set, the 1983 Red Box. The Mentzer edited version that was the first in what is known as the BECMI series.
Finally the 1983 Immortals Rules finishes off BECMI.
Now for the first one I ever owned. The 1991 New Easy to Master Dungeons & Dragons.
To go with the Black Box I have one of the adventure sets, The Dragon's Den from 1992.
5th Edition once more. This time the 2019 Stranger Things tie-in. And that's it for D&D sets I own. But I do have some non-D&D sets from TSR I want to add.
Dragon Quest, a 1992 simplified version of D&D.
Much like Dragon Quest the 1993 Dragon Strike game is a simplified version of D&D. This time including a VHS tape teaching you how to play. Sadly my tape is lost.
From 1982 the first RPG I ever owned was Star Frontiers.
