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.

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.

In the past it was Link to the past character select screen music. Today Satisfactory start up menu music that game must generate a time dilatation field. I swear I only play for 10 mins then it’s 5am and I have to go to work.

PS1 intro screen. Mainly because my PS1 sucked since it was second hand and I had to restart it a lot.

Kids these days will never know the relief of hearing the swooshing sound when you finally see the Playstation logo after praying for a disk to read

God, yes. Keeping your fingers crossed the whole time.

That was me and Jak 3 on PS2. It was a copy a friend had let me keep because I kept playing it all the time at their house. It was scratched a bit so every often it just wouldn’t start.

The chunky, thundering sound of the ID logo smashing into the screen when starting up Quake 3 Arena. So many LAN parties…
