The thread starts with Wik describing D&D Basic edition, AD&D 1st edition, AD&D 2nd edition, and D&D 3rd edition
RangerWickett adds D&D 4th edition
T. Foster adds Original D&D (1974)
Remus Lupin adds how players changed between editions
Lorthanoth adds Elric → Stormbringer (role-playing game)
WayneLigon adds GURPS → GURPS
Satori adds Rifts → Rifts (role-playing game)
Wik adds d6 → d6 System
Voadam adds Shadowrun → Shadowrun
The_Gneech adds Fantasy Hero → Fantasy Hero
A Passing Maniac adds Call of Cthulhu → Call of Cthulhu (role-playing game)
Stoat adds WFRP → Warhammer Fantasy Roleplay
Gumby adds Exalted → Exalted

Good fun, specially for those that already know some of these systems.
