Beyond that, I believe computer simulations and/or multimedia presentations are required.
At the physical game level, I believe this is about all you can teach.

I'm finally sorting out some old software, mostly games, that I've kept for too long. Are there companies or groups that specialize in older software, or is my best bet to go item by item on eBay/Craigslist?

Always wanted to know, how these fancy engine sounds come into being.
Is it generated on the fly? If so, how do all these little quirks appear there (like intercooler sound)? Or is it pre-recorded, and if so, how does its pitch changes?

Games have huge development budgets and map it to its rpm, then the game just recalls the sound for whatever RPM the car is running.
Sounds are recorded using real cars on closed racetracks.
