Wow. It’s hard to imagine back when I was a kid I played this from time to time. I had the 20th anniversy 2nd edition Players Handbook.

BOSTON (Wireless Flash) — Players of the role-playing game “Dungeons & Dragons” have cause to celebrate.
No, they’re not finally moving out of their parent’s basement. This year marks the game’s 30th birthday.
The game’s anniversary will be celebrated at the upcoming Gen Con Game Fair in Indianapolis tomorrow through Sunday (Aug. 19-22), but the game’s creators at Wizards of the Coast, have a few other cards up their sleeves to celebrate the milestone.
In October, a coffee table book of “D&D’s” history will be published which contains game-playing celebrity anecdotes from stars like “The Daily Show” correspondent Stephen Colbert, Mark Tremonti, former bandmember of Creed and a forward written by 25-year veteran player Vin Diesel.
Then in October 16, a spokeswoman for the company says they will hold World Wide D&D Game Day by trying to set a world’s record for the most people playing a role-playing game at the same time.
