This is a site for discussing roleplaying games. Have fun doing so, but there is one major rule: do not discuss political issues that aren't directly and uniquely related to the subject of the thread and about gaming. While this site is dedicated to free speech, the following will not be tolerated: devolving a thread into unrelated political discussion, sockpuppeting (using multiple and/or bogus accounts), disrupting topics without contributing to them, and posting images that could get someone fired in the workplace (an external link is OK, but clearly mark it as Not Safe For Work, or NSFW). If you receive a warning, please take it seriously and either move on to another topic or steer the discussion back to its original RPG-related theme.

Blood & Treasure 1st Edition (2nd edition has the single saving throw nonsense, so I refused to "upgrade")

Warriors of the Red Planet

Scarlet Heroes.  I wonder if there'll be a second edition.

OSRIC and Castles & Crusades as a player.

Labyrinth Lord as a player and as a referee.

Basic Fantasy Roleplaying Game, X-plorers and Dark Albion as a referee.

Hackmaster 4E (the only D&Dlike I can tolerate descending AC in)

Castles & Crusades (will always use this to play 1E at this point)

Labyrinth Lord (didn't like it)

Swords Wizardry Whitebox (my favourite way to play old school D&D)

DCC (I love it, but rarely run it anymore)

T&T Mythical 6th Edition (it's a shame when the best version of the game is a pirated one)

Basic Fantasy (great, but overshadowed by all of the above)

Encounter Critical (two of the most memorable game sessions we ever had)

Hmm...

Castles & Crusades, if it counts
OSRIC
Labyrinth Lord
Mutant Future
White Star

Are the ones I've run. Mostly I use bits & bobs of OSR games in actual D&D games - Classic, 1e, 3e, PF & especially 5e. Tried a bit with 4e but they don't mix well.
I've played Labyrinth Lord as a player.

ACKS - though one I'd done some hacking of to make it fit a historical setting.
Currently running: Tyche\'s Favourites, a historical ACKS campaign set around Massalia in 300BC.

Labyrinth Lord, 10 or so sessions (as DM)
ACKS, 25+ sessions and counting, in an ongoing campaign (as DM)

Bucket list (as player; as a DM I'm pretty happy with ACKS and don't want to run something else at the moment): DCC, Encounter Critical (even a 1 shot!), and something Tekumel-related (although depending on the observer and/or system, a Tekumel game could be considered just O rather than OSR)

Does OD&D count? Then loads of games with that pre 1980 or thereabouts.

Recently a few Swords and Wizardry games have been played and I've run a lot of DCC. I've also run a few EPT games using either the original rules or the Petal hack recent ruleset (although that may not count as OSR).

Played Labyrinth Lord, ran ACKS.  Short list, really.

Really though, I could have done the ACKS game with almost any OSR or simply old school ruleset, I just would have had a longer list of houserules.  So I'm coming to think ruleset is the least important and least interesting part of the OSR.  Much of the action in the OSR has always been in blogs and google+ posts.  Even in published products, I find adventures and settings more interesting than rule sets.

Castles & Crusades
Dungeon Crawl Classics
Mutant Crawl Classics
Arrows of Indra
Lamentations of the Flame Princess

These are the games I know I played by the book. When I play OSR games (usually C&C at the core), I mix and match stuff from basically everywhere.

A short list: Adventurer, Conqueror, King (have played over 20 sessions, and am playing currently), Stars Without Number (ran a half dozen, played in about 20 sessions), Other Dust (played just once). Not including original old school games here.

When I get the Old School itch my go to is 1e Palladium Fantasy (and there are enough Palladium fans in the area that getting a group together isn't hard), but I've done BECMI and every edition of AD&D up through Skills & Powers.

I've not touched any of the new OSR stuff because my old books are still fully functional.
