Do you get those chills like I do?

BZZTT BZZZTT BZZZZT *LOUD GD ROM NOISES*

 

[whitehawk]

Never owned a Dreamcast, so no nostalgia here.

 

[DidntKnowJack]

I like the Saturn's start up sequence more.

[eosos]

I like the sega genesis one.

 

[SenEXunk]

It's retrotastic, I quite like the PS1 intro too.

 

[Anth0ny]

Sega CD

 

[Drago]

I have no nostalgia for Dreamcast and that intro really is great. Probably my favorite one of them all

 

[Mihael Mello Keehl]

BZZTT BZZZTT BZZZZT *LOUD GD ROM NOISES*

bequiet it is my text tone now so I dont hear it...*fingers in ears*

 

[tapedeck]

DC was ok but GameCube had my favorite intro.

 

[speedpop]

Everyone knows the PS1 had the best intro.

 

[Cpt Conifer]

Way better than both the PS2 and Xbox, that's for sure. Would have been so happy to stay on that system throughout the entire sixth generation if it had not been discontinued in 2002.

 

[Surface of Me]

PS1 intro will always have the most nostalgia for me. Gamecube is a close second.

[Borman]

The Dreamcast's developer bios was even better

[sevenchaos]

BZZTT BZZZTT BZZZZT *LOUD GD ROM NOISES*

This was the better noise for sure.


Also greatly enjoyed the alternate Gamecube startup.

PSX boot up

honestly it has to be this. first time i heard this on my friend's living room stereo is etched into my memory. we used to reboot the system over and over just to hear it.

 

[Parallax]

BZZTT BZZZTT BZZZZT *LOUD GD ROM NOISES*

Don't forget the loud ass beep during start up.

 

[Terra Firma]

Dreamcast, I'ma let you finish but PS1 had the best intro of ALL TIME.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ekqYhP8PhMg

That bass at the start gave me chills when I first heard it back in the 90s.

 

[red731]

Thread title reminded me of...

Change your goddamn VMU batteries

 

[VICI0US]

Ah, the memories.

so many hours of PSO on that sweet 56k.

 

[Drago]

PSX boot up

Actually, yep, this is my favorite.

I was expecting this Dreamcast video in the OP...

HYPE

 

[Parallax]

Change your goddamn VMU batteries

Is that what's that's for? My mind is fucking blown.

Doesn't really get much better than that.

Yeah how was this not the OPs choice. for serious shame.

I knew what this would be before I clicked.

Gameboy advance intro just sounds like you know your finna have some fun with that lol

 

[Persona7]

Definitely, yes.

All the BIOS sound effects and design are great.

 

[SkyMasterson]

Sega CD

I loved that one because it sounded so futuristic. It kinda still does haha.

 

[Lionel Mandrake]

BZZTT BZZZTT BZZZZT *LOUD GD ROM NOISES*

:lol

Replayed through a few DC favorites recently. Thought something was wrong with my system when I started it up. Sounds like a freakin' chainsaw.

 

[Gen X]

Ah, the memories.

so many hours of PSO on that sweet 56k.

Lucky you! PAL Systems came with a 33k modem. PSO was a bit laggy, to say the least.

Spoiler

Thankfully I picked up a cheap 56k from a broken US model and fitted that

 

[Eight Diagram Bat Fighter]

Capcom Q Sound. Get that DC intro crap outta here son

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xsEN0wjo2dA

 

[VegaNine]

Fun fact: The Dreamcast start-up sound was composed by Ryuichi Sakamoto, the famed Japanese musician who won both a Grammy and an Academy Award for scoring The Last Emperor (1987).

 

[MasterShotgun]

PSX boot up

honestly it has to be this. first time i heard this on my friend's living room stereo is etched into my memory. we used to reboot the system over and over just to hear it.

I never owned a PS1, but I still can't deny it's greatness. Playing on someone's system and hearing that noise meant I was about to have good times.

Gamecube obviously takes second place.

 

[solidus51]

Sega CD

dude that intro is so creepy

 

[olimpia84]

Nothing beats the classic NeoGeo startup screen

 

[Tesseract]

yep, it's the best. it's fucking perfect. we should blast it out into space before we destroy ourselves and lose it forever.

 

[catmincer]

OP is right... kinda

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=91snDi_1G64 is better though

 

[DidntKnowJack]

Can't believe no one else is a fan of the Saturn's.

 

[KO Traveling Hobo]

PSX wins the nostalgia race by a mile. The best intro though is a tie between Dreamcast and Gamecube.

 

[sevenchaos]

Nothing beats the classic NeoGeo startup screen

Correction. The NeoGeo Pocket beats it.

 

[solidus51]

deamcast intro is so soothing its the best tintro ive ever heard

 

[kazegami]

DC intro always makes me wanna pee.

 

[VegaNine]

Correction. The NeoGeo Pocket beats it.

I lost a great deal of money thanks to the Neo Geo Pocket's Horoscope... and the system's weak alarm once cost me a girlfriend.

Teenage years.

 

[televator]

I love the Dreamcast but PS1 had the better intro. DC is close though, but something about that sharp chime of the PS1 just sounds so "future 90's."

 

[Lion Heart]

PSX is orgasmic. On the other hand, 3D0 is by far the worst.

 

[Chinner]

into this

awwww yeah

i think this will always be engraved within my memory.

also: capcoms intro for resident evil 2

[Fou-Lu]

GCN>Dreamcast>Saturn>PS2>Capcom intro for PSX/Saturn>>>>>>PSX

There is nostalgia in the PSX opening, but while the sounds are great, the intro itself is terrible.
