Do you have a picture of the character sheet? or maybe somewhere on the sheet it says what edition it is. There are a lot of different editions of D&D and there are different games that are close to D&D but not quite. If you don't have an idea of what you want to play or what editions to go for, you can always join us over at the Guild Living Campaign. We are a community of over 150 players and 22 DMs that play D&D4e. The way the system is designed you get all the resources to make a character (including a downloadable program with every book in the game, a video tutorial and a very active chat room to talk to people) and then can play that character with a bunch of different DMs so you can start to figure out what style of player you are going to be and what kinds of games you are likely to enjoy. If this sounds like something you want to try, head on over to our LFG Blurp . If it looks like something you want to play in, post on the interested players thread and you will get invited to the campaign. You can also send me a contact request on Skype at Gravymattingly if you have questions or want to be added into guild chat if you decide to join.
