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.

Civilization IV
Baba Yetu is such a banger
Resident Evil
none. staying up past sunrise is insane. even for work
Winks in overnight shift
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.
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.
Just one more turn!
Halo CE, BF2 and WoW
Civ 3,4,5 for one …more… turn. Or for the PlayStation boot sequence loading into MG:S for the 14th play-through.
Starcraft 1 & Warcraft 2
Minecraft, satisfactory, factorio are ones that come to mind that keep me up too late as an adult. The TES games are ones I remember from my childhood. Morrowind was my jam back in the day, as was NWN.
Guild wars 1
Command and conquer : red alert
Diablo (the original)
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.
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.

None. I get hit hard by melatonin and can’t stay up no matter how jazzed I am playing a game. Latest for me was probably like 1:30a and Resident Evil or Tomb Raider. I do remember sleep overs where a friend was still playing when I woke up. Don’t remember the game though … probably Final Fantasy VII.
Devil May Cry
Whenever I hear any sound from that game, I am immediately triggered in remembering the from dusk till dawn game nights me and a friend had. Hearing the birds sing was a sign we had to maybe stop and get some sleep. Biking home through the city while the sun rises after a game binge night was surreal.
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.
