Yeah, that was a huge step back and they couldn't fix it until the mp3 format started to be used in the games. Did anyone else noted that it always took about a second for the CD drive to switch to victory/defeat track? I always dreaded that "jump" while in flight...
Another thing I miss was the grayness of the starships etc. That black/white feeling from Empire Strikes Back. Later on with the introduction of textures and colored light sources everything became too colorful to be "starwarsy".
PS: maybe you could change the title of the thread to something more generic, so that we can also talk about other old games? I managed to launch TIE Fighter 95 (I'm even converting old MIDI tracks to replace poorly recorded .wav files that came on CD - shame on you, LEC!), but I have major problems getting "Indiana Jones and the Infernal Machine" to work stable (even after the patch and compatibility settings).
