Um, dude. This is a forum for play-by-mail games, which are kind of in
the same ballpark but not really.

Wizards has made available cheap online versions of the old books.
Gotta say, though, the 3rd edition stuff does a handsome job of
bringing back "old school" D&D. HackMaster is a parody, but does the
same, from what I've heard.

And yes, on the Internet you'll find cultists who play 1st ed D&D;
they may communicate with you. Hell, there are bound to be
play-by-forum (or e-mail) groups running games, or even running them
real-time over IRC or something like WebRPG.
