The situation is that I have (at the moment) 2 friends at school who are interested in playing D&D, Im going to be the one hosting it as DM. As i said my cousins wife said she bought me D&D from ebay, so it's most likely 1st edition, which one of them says is ok. After a while of using that, I'd rather not switch to anything like Pathfinder or a seperate game, just change edition.
Unless there is a seperate game with similar system.

Other stuff was meant to mean "Any DND system that isn't 4e, 3.5, ADD, Next". That whole amalgum of 1st ed, basic, ODD, chainmail, red box. Not non-DND RPGs.

You're most likely getting 4e, since that's what's widely found by searches now; if not, then I suggest playing what you get for a while before changing editions (if you want to). 1st ed, as well as the rest are all good in their own way. Just have fun.

You mean the old gameboy game(s)? If so, they're OK; not too spectacular, but still fun.

Dragon quest


rpggeek.com/rpgfamily/858/dragonquest


Is an alternative system not affiliated with DND. Its probably pretty similar, but I've never actually played it.

I think its terrible, and only plan to buy an original copy of the books because I like the history behind it. I would not recomend most people get it.
