Same here, I have a lovely old blue single-volume which seems to have a lot more character than AD&D. I only use the latter for a few rules, and extra monsters and spells.
I have rarely seen the actual volumes, our GM prefers us not to know
anything about the world that our characters wouldn't know, if at all possible. An odd system, but one that works very well in practice, I find. I know he's got a bunch of Gazetteers etc though.

I did the same thing - all players had never played before, and I only let them read certain bits of the players menu. It was fun letting them experience everything themselves firsthand, rather than reading about it. Then even a first encounter with an orc or goblin can become an amazing experience (harder nowadays, btu still doable).

Indeed, it's certainly making Wrath of the Immortals more interesting (the title is the only thing I know about it!).

Have you got any rules/stats/adventures you could post somewhere? I'd like to try that. A CD with logs and sound effects from the games could add to the atmosphere while playing.
[I must finish my (

Erg... I'll dig around. My group is more into the roleplaying than the nitty gritty of it, so for a lot of things we just wing it :p
But I'll look around, I might still have something.
Oh, and thanks a load for the logs- those are going to certainly heighten the immersion :D
