     I had the exact same problem booting th game on my old 500.  It 
turned out that the internal drive in my 500 was slightly out of alignment.
Apparently, the copy protection on Gauntlet is VERY picky and if your
drive isn't "perfect" it tends to choke.  Whether this is the problem 
with yours or not, I don't know, but after getting my drive fixed, the
game loads in about a minute or so.
