Okay, so maybe there are to many options on the poll, but I also missed a lot at the same time.

From the futuristic looking PS4, to the six-sided N on the 64, to the simple game boy, which console did you like the best when it just comes to the startup screen? Though the statup screen isn't very important to the console itself, it can show what the console can do before you start the software.

So what's your favorite console start up? What's your least favorite? I personaly loved the dreamcast (was about to be option 13, but I felt like that would be too much) both PS1 and PS2, and the Gamecube. Feel free to mention any of the loot I missed.

Oh the Gamecube! Brings back memories of staying up late at night, giggling with my siblings in the dark at my grandmothers house.

Easily Playstation 1, I can recall being amazed as a little kid when that popped up for the first time. Playstation 2 is easily 2nd place. Atari Jaguar is third place. Awesome start up, but it was otherwise a pretty lame console, but had quite a few good games.

What if I told you there was a time in which I stared at the PS2 UI for hours and hours on end?

PlayStation 1, period. :p

And the coolest thing is that it's mostly due to the Sound.

I enjoy the GameCube startup screen. It has a nice tune and animation, and I like how you can activate a settings menu before it ends if you're fast enough, and if you press some buttons (don't remember which ones), you can replace the notes with monkey-like squeaks and hear children laughing playfully at the end. Yes, children laughing ... Always a fun thing to hear.

It's the Z-button.

Here's another fun thing, take four controllers and hold 'Z' down on all of them when you start the console. (At least two people needed to make this possible.) You'll get another funky opening. (Or you just Google it)

The Gamecube startup is the best, partly because the Gamecube logo is incredibly good.  The "G" and "C" along with the cube formation is brilliant.  Plus I loved that you could spin it to get to the menu.  I can't vote because you forgot the Cube :(  

The N64 logo was woefully underused but it's a great infinite-N logo.

It shows that console can play a video file and can output sound? Congrats. :)


I don't personally have clear favorite but PSX one definitely stands out.

so hopefully tomorrow i get to go home from the hospital i've been here for 5 days already and it's driving me mad. I miss my family like crazy but at least I get to use my own toiletries and my own clothes. My mom is coming to visit soon i can't wait to see her cause i miss her the most. :kaojoy:
Couple hours of work. Might use in my game as a secret find or something. Not sure. Fancy though no? :D
Holy stink, where have I been? Well, I started my temporary job this week. So less time to spend on game design... :(
Cartoonier cloud cover that better fits the art style, as well as (slightly) improved blending/fading... fading clouds when there are larger patterns is still somewhat abrupt for some reason.
Do you Find Tilesetting or Looking for Tilesets/Plugins more fun? Personally I like making my tileset for my Game (Cretaceous Park TM) xD
