Default History of RPGs

This isn't a post about how great things used to be in the old days but rather a history of my history of pen and paper RPGs, or rather a "This is what I've played and what I thought of them" post so with no more mucking about, my first RPG experience was with first edition Twilight 2000 shortly followed by 2nd Edition, from there I've played, in no particular order: AD&D, Star Wars (1st, 2nd & 3rd Edition), Vampire (in various formats), Werewolf, Changeling, Cyberpunk, Warhammer Fantasy, Traveller (1st and 2nd Edition), Dark Conspiracy, Robotech, Rifts, Marvel Super Heroes, Star Trek (TOS and TNG), the Palledium super heroes game (forgotten the name). Of these I've run games of Twilight 2000 (1st and 2ndEdition), Cyberpunk, Star Wars, Warhammer Fantasy and just to be different B5.

Out of this list the best games I had were Dark Conspiracy, one or two D&D 3rd Edition games and a rip snorter of a Vampire game all of which those of us involved in still recall fondly many years after the games have finished.

Now we get to the other part of the post and it pretty obvious really, what games have others played and if given the chance to play in them again or recreate them would you? (apologies if this has already been done)
