I don't understand why you'd get nostalgic about the sounds of a rotary phone, a cassette tape, or a modem connecting, let alone most of those other sounds. The concepts of those technologies still exist, they've just been replaced by superior versions.

I can understand the nostalgia around the game sounds, of course, because they more strongly evoke the memories of actually playing the game.



The concept of the game still exists now - why would you be nostalgic about the sounds of the old inferior ones?
