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.
Spent sooooo many hours as a kid playing Wing Commander: Prophecy. I still have dreams about the missions and the video cut scenes. Picked it up on GOG about a year ago and the controls sceme was still in my muscle memory.
Hands down, the Descent 2 PC/DOS intro, game released in 1996. They were ahead of their time, awesome game still to this day in my book.
For me it was the Star Wars Rebellion main menu. I played that game tons back in the day on a PC that couldn’t handle much more. Starting it up locked me into just wanting to finish a game in one night.
Loved that game!
I actually recently bought it on CD after both the Steam and GOG versions gave me visual glitches. It’s really great even if the enemy AI has infinite resource cheats.
Breath of the Wild… so many nights were spent lying in bed playing that game until I heard birdsong! 😅
Definitely the Ocarina of Time intro for me. It was the first game to give me a real sense of adventure as a kid, and that theme song remains forever burned into my memory.
The PlayStation 2 intro. I never had one and still haven’t even all these years later, but that was a console I’d play at my cousins’ houses and we would often play late into the next morning. Hearing that intro is pure nostalgia to the highest degree. Since we didn’t have it at our house, it was even more so the reason to play so late on a weekend.
I remember being obsessed with Sims Bustin’ Out and that was one of a few games we’d play late. That or one of the GTAs like III or Vice City and then I was able to sneak San Andreas for myself on Xbox and that was a game I played a lot too.

For me, the Civilization V intro, lots of lan parties and online sessions where we suddenly found ourselves playing while the birds were waking up to the mørning sun outside our window.
Just one more turn!
You reminded me of the one and only time my friend and her husband and I played all night long on Civ V. Such a fun experience.
I really want that feel again. I’ve never played DnD or tabletops like that but that’s what I feel like that feeling is comparable to, playing endlessly all night with IRL friends.

Minecraft, though it’s because I usually open it after sunrise if I’m still awake. most of the time if I’m up all night I’m really deep into surfing the web to the point of like, obscure sites about aliens or something.
Civ 3,4,5 for one …more… turn. Or for the PlayStation boot sequence loading into MG:S for the 14th play-through.
