Or it might have something to do with my own eyes (or aesthetic preferences).. nearly all 3D games - especially the earlier ones - have a sort of muddy gray/brown look to them from my perspective. The screenshots of GK3 posted earlier in this thread were exactly what it looked like on my (very good for its time, IRRC ) graphics card.
