A great many people presently use onboard sound which typically has only poor MIDI support. Way back when you would've been using things like SoundBlaster Live! or AWE32 which would've given different results. That being said it still wouldn't have sounded quite the same as that modern video. There are old videos also on youtube made using various types of hardware (or simulated equivalents).
For my part I was also among the folks who always turned game music off (sound on, but music off). 90's MIDI music always sounded so bad compared to consoles of the era.

Yeah, good info. There were some games that got into Mod Tracker sounds like the original Deus Ex (the only Deus Ex game), I am not all that familiar with it. But I would argue that better or worse computers had their own sound. It was one less thing stretched across the board with every other device. Some people are all about the multiplatform but I am one of the guys that hate it. It all tastes like Vanilla.
