I think this is just another case of heavy nostalgia filtering and
false memories.

Many modern games have really good and inspiring music. The kind of
music that's very recognizable and spawns tons and tons of covers by
people.

Just as an example, take Skyrim. There are lots of excellent covers
made from its soundtrack, such as:

A bit older, but hardly 8-bit music (listen at least a couple of minutes
of it):
