I've never played D&D, but I was an avid fan of other games.
Here in Spain, D&D was realy expensive for a kid to start on. Too many books, really expensive, really hardcore fandom (and difficult to start with)...
I played Paranoia, Lord Of The Rings, Star Wars RPG, ansd I loved some Chaosium books like Call of Cthulhu, Stormbringer and specially RuneQuest. I was a hardcore fan of that one.
We played every weekend and a lot on holidays. We knew that couldn't last (other activities, girls or whatever) and in our last year together (before going different colleges) we made the biggest campaing we could imagine, to close it big time. It took us almost all the last 8 months and It was amazing!. If you want to measure it... think on all the DC Crossovers rolled into big one!
Sometimes I miss those days... everytime I watch E.T and see the kids playing in the kitchen at the start... I remember those wonderful days of youth.
