Man this takes me back, I used to have a faulty LAPD: Future Cop disk, which happened to be my favourite game, me and a friend used to sit in front of the TV saying "pls pls pls pls" and cheer when it worked.

LAPD: Future Cop

Oh man, I had a demo of this game, this brings back memories.

I'm glad we have finally gotten to a technological point where games just go right to the god damn menu the moment you power on the machine (or at least, good ones without an hour of unskippable logos and disclaimers), since that was what I had originally, you know, back before the CD era and everything was solid state. You'd pop in an NES, Master System, SNES or Genesis cart in, power it on and BAM! the game is already going.

Not that I am not nostalgic for the PS1, PS2, Dreamcast and GameCube startup sequences.

Am currently playing Hades, start the game, the game load, BAM, the menu screen. Such respect toward player's time.

In AAA games and a lot of indies, everyone involved/slightly involved want to show you their shiny logo, no skipping.

[–] [email protected] 9 points 3 weeks ago

Sadly the logos need to be there as part of their funding contracts most of the time

The heavy bass effect that blew out my dad's surround sound subwoofer amp due to me maxxing out the low frequency gain from the PS1 startup tune lives rent free in my head.

Are we praying that the disc loads, or are we praying along with the holy sounds that were the PlayStation startup sounds?

[–] [email protected] 2 points 3 weeks ago* (last edited 3 weeks ago) (1 children)

Little of both. This is where you might encounter a boot error, between the white and black screens. But I never saw one that I didn't forcibly make happen when modding. At least not with PlayStation's. Xbox red rings were common as fuck, and they would also occur during the startup logo sequence.

Scratched CDs lived or died between those screens.

Or praying the space ship flies true.

I remember there was an Easter egg but I can’t recall if it was related to no disc and then loading an audio cd or something else. You’d have a small space ship flying around and towards and away from the screen almost like a screensaver.

It’s been almost 30 years though so I’m a little hazy on the details.

It’s bugging me that I can’t find it online anywhere.

Just like Serenity.

Praying the burned import disc boots up, probably.

[–] [email protected] 123 points 3 weeks ago

Praying the disc loads. That second screen only shows if it's successful.

You alerted me to details I didn’t see. Thanks.
