Best Attract Mode Graphics?

Pages: << < (4/5) > >>

BASS!:

I just set maximus arcade to randomly pick avi files from my emumovies folder. That way you can have tons!

protokatie:

Final Fight. Good little story montage, and the music kicks butt.  ;D

Ummon:

It comes to mind that early games didn't often have sound(s) playing during attract mode, and it was a precarious thing, though in a way it made sense because it told you the game was ready to play. Indeed in the early days, if there was too much going on we would watch often as we'd play, at least until the attract was familiar. Definitely by the late 80s this had changed, because it was more attracting I guess to the younger generation who were used to more noise in general, and by the 90s I'm betting that no sound meant (at least to the kiddies) that something was wrong with the game, which was probably often so in such case.

paulscade:

I'm keeping a list of the games mentioned in this thread... my plan is to create a list in Maximus Arcade so I can easily pick one.  Actually... I think that I can configure MA to use this list as a list to go through as a screensaver. (similar, I suppose, to uprightbass360's suggestion of pointing MA to the avi's folder).... but I only want the best ones for my attract mode.   ;D

Turnarcades:

Don't know about best attract mode visuals (all used to entice me as a kid - flashy flashy!), but without a doubt, Killer Instinct had the best attract music and sounds hands down.

...and I mean proper Killer Instinct, not that abomination they called a sequel.

Sorry people, I hated it.
