Videogame Nostalgia: Intros and Soundtracks

[AB Editor]

Altered Beast had the most awesome way to start a game ever (you are commanded to rise from your grave by Zeus). It also had a seriously cool soundtrack.

I thought we could have some fun with our favourite intros from games gone by?

This one?:



Not quite as pretty, but it's all there! It's amazing the differences we used to get between platforms.

Trigger, that's a great intro. I would fully support a HD remake.

Could only find Atari version but had this on C64. Tune doesnt kick in until 30 sec mark - when the gameplay starts
