Some of the games I remember being difficult to figure out weren't so bad.
Top Secret was easier than I remembered, but the book is still laid out poorly for finding things quickly. Still haven't found the rules to use a sword hand to hand. Yes I did! It's in the ranged weapons chart for throwing the damn thing. HWV is the "hand weapon value" of a ranged weapon used in hand to hand combat. What a stupid way to list it.
Traveller's armor rules weren't nearly so awful as I recall.
GURPS 2e is every bit as bad as I remember it being, we noticed that the M-26A2 didn't do a lot better than a good crossbow right quick.
I left for the Army before it had become an issue and I wasn't really a GURPS minded person yet.
I was enthralled with GDW's 2300: AD system and universe at the time.
By the time I'd gotten out, 3e was out and we could see that it did what we wanted better than 2e and it even survived my first try at converting T2K.
