Been a longtime D&D player since high-school (cut my teeth on the soft-cover D&D Basic Rules Set), with a long hiatus between college and recent years.
While saddened to see the increase in rules complexity since that time (my attention dwindled around 3e), imagine my surprise and joy when I came across Basic Fantasy!
If you’re looking for a nearly zero-cost way to get into a game that “feels” like classic D&D (less focus on tactical combat and more on the role playing aspect, supported by modern d20 rules), I’d highly recommend it.
