Could be a console startup, title screen, intro cutscene, etc. I just got wired off an energy drink so I apologize in advance if this post is unhinged.
I personally associate it with Kirby Super Star’s intro, the Sega CD boot screen (non-US, I associate the US ones with Christmas), and the original Xbox startup.
Rimworld loading add-ons and then a wall of red text.
Bro omg Kirby super star was the shit when I was a kid. I played the remake for DS and I played the shit outta that game. So many nights laying in bed playing that game all night
Doom and Doom 2 MIDI’s. Playing these games at night just feels right. And also, the intro and soundtracks of Unreal Tournament '99. Absolute late night vibes.
The red Valve picture and ‘Dang!’ sound at the start of CS 1.6
None. I can’t be the only one who has never done that.
I’ve done that before but I wouldn’t associate a game intro with staying up late playing a game, cuz I’d already be hours and hours past the intro.
Same. The only time I’ve ever stayed up past sunrise was when I was trying to finish a game storyline. And by that time the intro was long past. I would never associate a game intro with staying up late.
Never stayed up past sunrise playing games? Really?
At night I sleep
One New Year’s Eve I was staying at a cousin’s house and stayed up playing assassins creed 1 just running around
FF Tactics. But the OG Twisted Metal was the first haha
Zelda OOT, or vanilla WoW. Hearing the intro music from either is a pretty strong nostalgia hit.
The Wild Arms opening music and scene always does this for me. I’ve been replaying it on a CRT and it holds up decently well.
Either the login menu of vanilla wow or the intro in jedi academy.
Baba Yetu, the intro music from Civilization 4
Ah, just one more turn.
Okay one more turn.
One last tu… Fuck the suns up.
But… just one more turn
The chunky, thundering sound of the ID logo smashing into the screen when starting up Quake 3 Arena. So many LAN parties…
Nice, I just heard it in my head, thanks!
The explosions in that game were so cool
HOMM III
