Hello,
Before I go home from work for the weekend, I remembered a game with an intro I watch in facination, before I even played it. Here's a few excellent games IIRC:
Super Space Invaders / DOMARK (cute intros)
Another World ('Welcome Professor')
FlashBack (cool music and chase sequence)
Wing Commander (too bad no part 2)
SpaceAce
Elite 2(Frontier)
Lotus III (nice music!!very cinematic!!)
Well that's all I can remember mine. How about yours? :-D
Good day and happy weekend to all Amigans! :-D
-
I used to love the intro music at the beggining of MAgnetic Fields games (i.e lotus etc), it used to come on all loud and stuff and send shivers down my spine
-
Lotus III (nice music!!very cinematic!!)
Yes, that's a great game. I've played that game a lot recently. :-D
-
Don't forget OnEscapee... or Perihelion... even Wendetta2175... All of these are hungarian games, hehehh..
All time classic for me is the Beast II intro with the transforming wizard in the stormy night.
-
even Wendetta2175
Even someone with a good brain cell wouldn't know what this is. :-D
-
My some of my fave game music are:
1) Lotus 2
2) Xenon 2
3) Magic pockets
and many more......

Lotus 2's briiliant. See my thread about it in the gaming section. :-D
-
Dont forget Cannon Fodder..
WAR!
-
forgot about that one, that was class in its time,
wars has never been so much etc

That music was shamelessly stolen from the 1989 movie version of Henry V. It occurs to me that copyright laws regarding sound clips were far, far more lax in those days. :-)

always wondered where it was from, i kinda of reconised it but i couldnt place it
-
ArmourGeddon (not sure about 1 or 2, probably 1. Had smoothest animation seen on a500 then :)
Another World
MF games because of music.. like Supercars2
Slam Tilt
Shadow of the Beasts
Xenon2's music
Cruise for a Corpse
Cannon Fodder
-
There's always the Psygnosis stuff.
I remember Stryx had a great intro and fantasic music, but the game wasn't that brilliant. Then there was Nitro with the lovely raytraced intro.
Here's my list:
1) Stryx
2) Turrican 2/3
3) Nitro
4) Alien Breed Special Edition
5) Blood Money
6) Birds of Prey
7) Frontier
-
I thought the game Blood Money had a really cool intro.
It was a 2 disk game but the whole 1st disk was the intro. The intro had a lot of animated digitized asteroids as well as a lot of sampled sounds.
-
No one has mentioned Settlers yet !!!
Both the intro graphics and music were good, and the in-game sound effects were also spot-on :)
I miss that game... :(
-
WelshBoy,
Who's the charming lass in your avatar?
-
Ah yes, Birds of Prey. Smashing Topgun-esque intro. After the Razor 1911 intro that is. Yarh! :crazy:.
-
That would be my girlfriend Jennifer :)
Bit of an old pic but a good one none the less
-
What about SWOS?
I used to love that song in the intro!
"You're a goal scoring, superstar hero.... :-D
Cannon Fodder was superb as well.
Another World, mind blowing animation back in the day.
I'm glad I'm not the only one who got a shiver down the spine when listening to the Magnetic Fields intro.
Incidentally, issue 3 of Retro Gamer has a load of gremlin games on the disc, including Lotus 1, 2 & 3, and Supercars 1 and 2 (Supercars 1 is for the Atari emulator though, all the rest work in Winuae, believe me I've tried them all!:-)) So you can listen to the intros all over again!!!
Incidentally 2: Issue four of Retro Gamer is out on May 27th!!
I'm such a retro geek!
Cheers

No ones mentioned Agony yet --- possibly the best music intro on the Amiga.
-
Hoya!
Lol, I did not dare to start THIS thread! ;-D
OK, basically, everything Psygnosis, especially Lemmings and Aquaventura (besides the in-game music is DEAD cool!).
Gremlin, of course.
Rocket Ranger.
Flashback.
Golden Axe, even if it is not an Amiga original.
UNREAL!
Walker (oops, it is Psygno... ;-) )
MoonStone.
Chaos Engine.
Be funky

I spent a long time tracking that music down, I loved its emotion too (spine shivers!). Its actually a classical piece by Richard Wagner called "Siegfrieds Funeral March" (Gotterdamerung) Twilight of the Gods.

As you can see I'm TOO OBSEST with this game not to mention it, so I'll do that, but offcourse I'll include 4 other gamed in the list, so here we go:
1. Shadow of the Beast
2. Shadow of the Beast
3. Shadow of the Beast
4. Shadow of the Beast
5. Shadow of the Beast
This is my top five list :-)
-
for music:
Killing Gameshow
Gods
for cinematics:
Shadow of the Beast
-
Agony!
Slamtilt!
Defender of the crown
Microcosm!
And almost every psygnosis game there is from 87 to 93.

True, but the MF recording came from Henry V. Compare the instrumentation. :-)
PS - I thought about nominating Agony, but that game is truly awful. I'm partial to MegaLoMania, myself. But, nothing beats Pinball Illusions. The intro, the music, the graphics, the physics... that game is friggin' amazing.

She looks nice. :-)

I always liked the intro to UGH! Not the most flashy, just fun :-) Also the intro movie for Carmageddon1 on PC was great ...
