While it's had at least 5 editions (nobody's sure how to count the Difference Engine version), gamers mostly rely on the first one for worldbuilding and the artifact charts, drawing a few details from 2nd edition (which had pictures for most of the odd mutated creatures), and ignoring everything the later versions said about the world. Gamma World is one of the few, perhaps the only, RPG where the later editions are disdained in favor of the first, raw, least-developed edition. The original publication remains the most popular version of the game, with the second edition often serving as supplemental material to flesh out the rather sparse information in the first. Results can include injury or even death for more complex devices, and GMs often attempted to describe the chart-rolling intervals in the game setting. Characters are presumed to have no understanding of pre-apocalyptic technology, and so must roll on a complex chart to learn to operate even the simplest of devices, like a lighter or eggbeater. Possible the most memorable aspect of Gamma World, and the reason it's still occasionally played, is the Artifact Use Charts.
