… I had no idea that people liked THAC0 that much.
(Having used 3rd, 4th, and 5th editions, I’m really liking the streamlining that’s been done with 5th edition- It lets you focus more on the story and RP than on having to consult tomes and Do A Lot Of Math.)
The system includes Ascending Armor Class. Yes, even us grognards minimize the math in favor of moving things forward.
System Reference Document containing the OSE Classic Fantasy Rules for your perusal.
I’ve been running a pick-up game via Meetup using the rules. Players at the table have included a 40-year D&D veteran, 5e folks, and people who have never rolled a d20 before. It’s a fast, flexible system, allowing a lot of RP and judgement calls, and players don’t get hung up on their character sheets.
