What's your best stats roll (tabletop edition)?

Seeing the other thread being so popular, let's have one for real life. If possible, list the method used, and first-level stats, D&D edition, etc...

I have a Human Ranger (archer type), with the following.

STR 16
DEX 19
CON 15
INT 14
WIS 15
CHA 14

For a total of 93. Method was roll 4d6, if you roll one or more 1, you can reroll one of the 1s. Pick the best 3 dice. Rolling four 6s = 19. At level 9 he has CON 16 and DEX 20. 3.5 edition.

I also currently have a Dwarven rogue, who at level one, had the following

Race: Dwarf

STR 15
DEX 18
CON 15
INT 17
WIS 13
CHA 6.

For a total of 84. At level 10, he now has 16 STR and 16 CON. Same rules as above, again in 3.5.

    First
    It was a retroclone of Basic/Expert Dungeons & Dragons, called Labyrinth Lord.
    We were required to roll our scores, and take them as they were. I believe the amount to roll was 3d6, about...five to ten times?, and then pick the best one.

    Neutral (Chaotic) Human Cleric
    Strength 16
    Intelligence 13
    Wisdom 18
    Dexterity 08
    Constitution 12
    Charisma 09

    She was a batshit insane priestess of a Solar Goddess, and I loved the hell out of her. < 3 Technically, the very first set that she got in the game prior, with a 15 Strength and Intelligence, and an 11 Constitution, were "better", but I played her like a Paladin from WarCraft III, down to the hammer. She just had a more "Scarlet Crusade" flavour than "Silver Hand". She taught me to love a character, no matter the rolls.
    76 Points, both ways.

    Second
    Advanced Dungeons & Dragons 2nd Edition. Roll scores and allocate as desired if human; otherwise, take as rolled. I think it was 4d6 drop lowest...not recalling.

    Neutral Good Half-Sun Elven Cleric of Tymora/Thief
    Strength 16
    Intelligence 17
    Wisdom 15
    Dexterity 17
    Constitution 10
    Charisma 15

    This game...did not last. At least the GM was cool enough to let us use Unearthed Arcana combinations in a 2nd Edition game. Probably because 2E was supposed to have UA stuff in it.
    90 Points.

    Third
    Advanced Dungeons & Dragons 2nd Edition. Roll scores and allocate as desired if human; otherwise, take as rolled. I think it was 4d6 drop lowest...not recalling.

    Neutral Good Human Dweomerkeeper (Specialty Priestess of Mystra)
    Strength 13
    Intelligence 15
    Wisdom 17
    Dexterity 13
    Constitution 15
    Charisma 11

    This game also did not last.

    My first pnp D&D character was a mage originally rolled with:

    Str: 12
    Dex: 16
    Con: 18
    Int: 16
    Wis: 15
    Cha: 16

    She was pretty awesome and I played her for years in my pnp campaign.
