It sounds like you need to experience eight bit computing! My Commodore 64 from 1986ish still lives after a re-capping a few years ago. I grew up with Sinclair ZX80, 81 and Speccy too.
Nowadays we have such capable hardware that we can model near photorealistic stuff in real time. Not quite but not far off.
Those manic sounds and graphical effects are what you get when the hardware is very limited and some very talented people decide they want more, a lot more.
See if you can run up a simulator and get something like a Jeff Minter game running on whatever your IT gear is. You may like Attack of the Mutant Camels - the sounds are quite surreal, given the target hardware.
Consider taking a look at RetroPie or something similar.
