It's amazing to me how far video games have come. When most people say that, I think they're mostly talking about the improvements in graphics, but I'm referring to the audio, too. I normally play games on an Xbox One, but for the heck of it I went back and played some vintage Super Nintendo games last night, and the difference in the audio between the two is just astounding!

There's so much more available to game devs now than there used to be. Not only in the quality of the equipment, but more importantly they aren't trying to store an entire game's audio in just 28kb of ROM.
Yeah, you have a good point there. The more memory the game has access to, the more it can do. I think sound cards have come a long way too, and I'm sure that helps.
It is almost like really being there when you play most modern video games these days. I think that the difference comes when the game programmers are actually trying to make realistic games versus something like Super Mario Brothers.
