I went from an Atari 8 bit to a PC... speaking of a cold shower
graphically and soundwise!

 I think the first game I played on a PC was King's Quest IV. I have a
vivid memory of being both enthralled and confused at the difference
in sound and graphic quality from my C-64.
   The graphics were much better on the PC.  I never saw a game that
looked as good as KQ IV. But the sound was awful. Just awful compared
to my C-64. I only learned later about 'sound cards' and that my new
PC did not have one! The internal speaker is worse then CGA to me.
 

It's all about how you use it.  I've heard some great stuff over the PC:

This is just over the PC, you know, it's better.
