Best Game Intro - Page 4

sonninnos · 11 December 2019, 14:26

- Moonstone

Dat lightning sample, heh. Overall fine setting of mood and tone for the game.

- Mega lo Mania

Also had no idea back in the day that the in-game music of Mega lo Mania was not original stuff, but Gustav Holst: [ Show youtube player ]

At least haven't spotted yet if the intro is borrowed too.

Bart Simpson versus the space mutants was good even though Bart looked like he had down syndrome.

The stooges intro was great and so was Chuck rock.

Oh yeah, my favourite intro is the Birds Of Prey one aswell, even more so because of the hella cool cracktro music of the Razor1911 crack

AFAIK only German jets saw actual human combat. American jets had zero combat (only a few test recon flights in-theatre) and the British jets were reserved for shooting down V-1 missiles.

Forgot about amazing Moonstone intro.

Too bad I couldn't play it on my A1200 back then, and I could just view intro. I tried every boot option combination, and every trick I knew, and nothing worked.

Can this question really be answered???

There were to many to even start a list.

Darn, that seems to be the case. Even though the Crystal cracked version I have on disks meditates already right after the cracktro on my A1200 setup (8Mb FAST). Relokick/TUDE/Degrader does nothing, but hooray for the WHDLoad.

Luckily there seems to exist the AGA fixed version "Moonstone (1991)(Mindscape)[cr CSL][f AGA LSA]", but I can't be bothered to write disks now to see what happens.

I remember always having a version which crashed right at the end boss on my original A500 setup, and I overwrote that version with another one sometime after I bought an A600 but before I bought an A1200. I'm pretty sure I had to try a few different dumps to find a proper one, so it wasn't just because of a faulty copy, but can't remember if I ever did find one because it was so long ago. Probably not, because those disks I just tried had write protection off, which is something I never normally leave off, heh.

Not really, any answer is going to be a product of its time. The next month, next day, next hour or even the next minute, it may change. Case in point: I've seen a few replies here that make me question my own choice.

The intro from First Samurai is pretty good at setting the mood for the game: nice music (although not very samurai-esque) and a nice art style for telling the story.

Music starts at 0:23 and "real" intro starts at 1:07

Forgot about The First Samurai, yup that's a goodie

Gardhul · 21 January 2020, 09:17

Shadow of the beast, no doubt...

dreadnought · 30 January 2022, 18:53

Nothing can top Another World, but I think Supremacy (which I've just been playing) comes in close second for me.

Fiery Phoenix · 30 January 2022, 20:12

Super Space Invaders was impressive with an equally impressive outro.

Especially as we're exclusive to the home computer versions and not on the arcade original.

Of course Blood Money, Shadow of the Beast 2, Xenon 2 spring to mind also.

Three Stooges with the cake Defender if the Crown intro is class as is Rocket Ranger which sets the scene brilliantly in a B movie fashion

Glad Super Space Invaders got plenty of mentions, beautifully animated with very nice sounds.

Got some fondness for Wrath Of The Demon, love the atmosphere, little short but sets a great vibe for the game. Another game that gave me goose bumps was It Came From The Desert, that voice...

kremiso · 02 February 2022, 15:29

surely not one of the best intro now
btw i remember as a teenager watching for a couple of times in loop (for a couple of days!)
The Running Man intro

MUCH more that playing the 'game' itself ehm
