Well, there is at least one thing that has improved over the years.

Remember the 'story journals' that came with old RPGs? Every now and then the game would give you the page and the passage numbers, which you then had to dig up from the journal and read what was happening in the game. This was necessary as the disk space was very limited back then and by moving the lengthy descriptions of events to a booklet they could save up a lot of space on the floppies..

The result was of course that the said games are completely unplayable without the booklet. That is something that will surely never make a comeback.
