What games have the best intro movies?
« on: June 16, 2010, 11:18:39 am »
As the title says, im wondering what mame games you think have the best intro demos. As in one that you would want to leave on all the time, showing how awesome your cab is. One that makes you immediately want to play when you get a glimpse of it. I like the street fighter alpha 2 intro because its colourful and has crazy epileptic fit inducing flashes of light.

What are your favorites?

Dragon's Lair and Space Ace are pretty cool. Of course, they are setup but not available in Mame - so you'd also have to put Daphne on there...

The Time Crisis attract modes have always been fun.  Like a movie trailer. :)

X-Men 4-player game has a bright and memorable intro.  *sound effect* "X-Men!"

Gotta agree with the fighters mentioned above, as I commonly just leave my cab on these games.

But growing up I remember liking TMNT and the R-Type demo sounds...

Cobra Command is a great one. The chick narrating the Bega's Battle intro sounds so fake...
