Here's 1st through 4th edition stuff.

https://mega.nz/#F!z9wHCQwC!HCeMOum5467vvbTd2XwiMw

2nd edition is pretty much the definitive classic edition. It's old school TSR, so it may feel a bit dated to some, though it doesn't have some of the quirky aspects of D&D (you don't have classes, levels with ramping hit points and so forth). 3rd edition moves away from the d20 and uses percentile dice rolled against the table you see here, to provide you with different levels of success. It's actually a lot more fluid in practice than it might seem. The rules are detailed and have a lot of cool ideas, but it was released before it was ready and the editing was a nightmare, with whole sections got left out of the game (there's an errata booklet included in core rules pdf that addresses this, but it's still a mess) and it's maybe a bit crunchier than I'd want if folks were playing it entirely by the rules. So I'd call it a fixer-upper.

2nd edition essentially expands and polishes 1st edition and the two a pretty similar. 4th edition moves the game closer to AD&D, with classes and full-fledged levels and such, which I dislike. 5th edition was a short-lived Alternity supplement, which I'm not very familiar with. 6th edition uses d20 Modern and I couldn't get far into reading the book before the mechanics made me give up in disgust. 7th edition is a zany pickup game based on the 4e D&D rules. It seemed like it was pretty interesting if you're into that type of thing, but I'm really not. I know there is a good bit of inherent silliness to Gamma World, but I play it deadly serious.

Also, there's a fan-made Savage Worlds port of Gamma World in the third party folder that might be worth a look. I've never done more than glance at it, so I can't personally attest to its quality, but I've heard a few people say good things about it, and it seems like it would be a good fit.

The setting of Gamma World is fantastic. It's future apocalypse, so you get cool technology like lasers and shit, but with a smaller focus that allows for fantasy-style quests and individual heroics without having to contend with mass communication, planetary police forces, interstellar culture and so forth (the role of which are usually unrealistically minimized in space age campaigns). Weapons in Gamma World run the gamut from swords and muskets to magnetically-impelled slug throwers and ultra high-tech black ray pistols, so combat can get pretty interesting. Throw in robots, mutated animals and plants, and all manner of strange beasties, and you have the makings for a fantastic game. My longest running RPG campaign by far was in Gamma World.
