But then I still have them from when they were new(ish.) Sure they are horridly written rules that tend to ignore all of the important bits of role playing in favor of the crunchy combat rules but they have the vigour of youthfull experimentation that you just won't find in any more recent games.

Blackmoor incidentally is my personal favorite of the original books. I just like the way it reads. And a lot of the ideas are really cool if not particularly well fleshed out.
