I started tabletop with AD&D in high school with my friend's older grognard friends. It was awful and I was enthralled. The logical next step was 3.0 and later 3.5, but I always enjoyed D&D as long as it was under level 10 or so. I blame this for my penchant to go under-powered in a setting where over-powered is the law.
On the radical flipside of that, I devoured the core book for Exalted and Exalted 2.0. I never dug into the millions of supplements it got, but I loved the concepts and settings and scale of power. I described it to a lot of friends as "Amazing awesome anime fight scene: the game" and I maintain that belief.
Original World of Darkness (and later New WoD) also got me invested pretty well. I have a Nuwisha glyph tattoo and one of my favorite characters to play came from the Wild West setting. It didn't go well, as Werewolf games tend to lean towards.
Most recently, I dabbled with D&D 4.0. I keep hearing good things about 5.0 but I don't have a group (or the time to assemble/join one). Also, I can confirm that MaidRPG is a lot of fun. I don't know if it's in the official rules, but I strongly recommend doing a completely random character generation.
