My situation seems to be the opposite- I could find workarounds for the load problem in XP, but it's unsalvageable on Win 7. There are some third-party fixes for this problem, though, very old - from the beginning of the 2000's. They work fine for me :)

Yeah, most of GZ's levels are not designed in a way that lets you admire a skybox in its full glory - you'd often have to use noclip and get to a high place. They look nice though, especially that evil red sky. The Big Gun was quite intimidating to see at first, indeed. Heh, Jedi Knight had another impressive thing - the huge open areas. Even today I am impressed by how the engine can handle these without a hitch. I wonder if JK can be run with a Glide wrapper... will do some digging on that.

I would surely recommend them, but keep in mind that they do have their little quirks like all oldschool games. Enjoyment is not always guaranteed (warily looks in the general direction of Deathstalker). Wolf is an ancient grandpa with some really modern sequels, while Duke is like a whole cultural phenomenon in gaming. Blood is another 1990's series that is worth looking into. Never was very popular, but is considered a cult classic nowadays. The first game (and its two mission packs) are excellent, but the sequel was a bit awkward though. I'd mention Rise of the Trad too, though it's more hardcore - pretty old engine, a fairly long game with mostly large levels (can take a very long time to beat and you might feel tired long before the end). But it's a great classic too.
