Never seen 1st edition books... unless that was the one with the big red dragon on the cover sitting on top of a pile of gold... Man those rules were hard to understand... course I was 6 years old :b
I had a dyslexic black belt DM who ran 2e games for a while... Jesus he had some wierd stories. Me and my friends all got turned into flesh feeding dragons and cavorted from city to city killing lots of stuff. My friends were newbs and they sort of screwed a pretty good story.
There was a lot of lead up, its not as cheezy as it sounds.
