I first encountered tabletop hobbies when wh40k was unavoidable here (and hadn't yet been streamlined) and 3.5e/pathfinder 1e was the popular D&D edition so it remains funny whenever someone tells me 5e has too much crunch.

What I find compelling about the BECMI line and AD&D 1E's DM guide is the occasional slips into simulationism and arcturial fantasy: Players may never reach a level where Domain Play comes into effect but as a DM I can use it to abstractly define how the town on the borderlands they stay at supports itself economically, how much time, gold, and obscure items wizards are putting into magic items, why Count Flautran Heartly should care that his peasants are demoralised by repeated giant rat attacks. Similarly, does any group use Gygax's rules for ageing, disease acquisition (progression, diagnosis), the madness chart? No, but I appreciate the attempt at introducing verisimiltude to fantasy.

It's the same urge that prompts Asimov to describe the agricultural planets supporting Trantor or why Poul Anderson will open with something like 'Dominic Flandry, dashing rogue of the Imperium, set flashing heels down on the ground poised for adventure' and then follow this with 5 pages discussing orbital mechanics and what sort of social systems evolve on worlds with low access to iron.

I don't find as compelling the core system of BECMI or AD&D being 'rules-lite' (I mean, it is only by comparison to 3.5e, and has the disadvantage to readability of being a hodge-podge historic accumulation of rulings rather than a designed core system) and cannot help but laugh when TRVE CVLT grognards balk at basic subtraction or bell curves in probability calculations.

This may be why in my own time I'm being drawn more into traveller and basic roleplaying: systems that are pretty simple in play but have all sorts of fun systems to encourage simulation of a pocket universe for the DMs.
