2nd edition did have a lot of rules but you can always edit them to suit your needs. I did remember my dad just let me watch when I was 4 or 5 when he'd have the guys over for his campaign on saturday night I'd pass out at 2 or 3 in the morning just excited to watch them play. When I was 8 or 9 he explained the rules to me and I'd say by far the hardest thing to grasp was THAC0 and it didn't take me long to figure that out either once you got to fight a few monsters. The most important aspect to the game is not coddling newbies, make them think on their feet. Reroll characters from dying at level 1. Don't give them free passes to fuck up. Always feel a lot more accomplishment solving a puzzle or beating a monster when you have literally seconds to say what action your character can take before you lose your turn or a pressure trap crushes your body.
