  I play pixel horror. The audio and music can make or break the entire feel of those games. >
  
  Graphics quality can have varying definitions or standards, personally as long as it looks as good as the typical NES game then it's "good" for me.
  Graphics can ruin a game if you can't see what you are doing, so 'terrible' graphics are worse, audio can be muted and the game still played.
  It's rare for a game to have horrible audio, Flicky is the only one I own. >
  
  Honestly, the only games I've encountered that have shit graphics are probably atari and some ps1 games (sorry, n64 games just look better). Some games you can play without audio, but for a lot of games the audio enhances or completes the experience. A lot of horror games play as well with muted audio. But by the 2000s, audio isn't limited to the constraints of a 16bit processor.
  Edit: storage size increased exponentially once CDs and DVDs became common. That really helped games out as they had more storage than an N64 cartridge and could support larger audio/texture files >
  
  The original Smash Brothers looks terrible on N64, as does Duke Nukem 64 that I've played recently. 
  Even modern games can have terrible graphics, like the games ported from mobile to console. 
  PS1/N64 as a whole has some ambitious games that came out plain ugly. >
  
  I think it depends on the extent of either. >
  
  interesting point in that i agree with you, but have never found any issues with the sound quality of an SNES. and i think its sound engine was more advanced than that of the genesis. >
  
  Maybe Could be my emulator, my headphones, or I'm just more sensitive to it.
  I do find NES games sound better or more clear though. >
  
  Eh, they are kind of on the same level. Something that you'd rather not have, but not something that breaks a game in the slightest.
