It has a really non-systematic charm to it - you can tell it was built piecemeal for special cases all the way through. X is for pirates, for example, because it has its own chance of a map. H is a horde for dragons. Etc.
I also liked the Rolemaster system of wealth determining number of rolls, and then rolling on the same table, but it's not as fun as AD&D was. The one thing I dislike about Labyrinth Lord is the Horde Classes, because of how much I liked (and knew) the AD&D system.
My GM in the Pathfinder Pirates game we're playing in gave the Monster-of-the-Session (a naga) treasure specifically because he wanted to try out the treasure generator.
That's really neat. I forgot how detailed the old DnD treasure options were.
