OG Xbox still goes hard, especially with surround sound
GameCube is charming and Dreamcast is etherealy beautiful, but nothing beats pressing that Xbox power button and feeling like you just started up a nuclear powered machine from the future.
Heh… I looked at those and thought “what am I missing? None of the companies that made those consoles were startups.”
5 seconds later “ahh… favourite boot screens….”
No no. Nintendo was a small startup…in 1889.
SEGA
Also several of them were very playful and had some quirky animations that set perfectly the tone for the game.
Edit: that’s the Genesis/mega drive for you.
Game Cube with the Z button held down. (Monkey sounds and a child’s laughter replacing the regular boot up jingle.)
The OG PlayStation is my childhood. The Sony logo goes almost as hard as the THX deep note. And then waiting with anxiety for the disc read to succeed on a scratched up disc, anticipating the sweet release of the PlayStation logo and sound.
Dreamcast starting is so soothing… even if it comes with fan noises.
Not a start up excatly, but I can’t help but be nostalgic for all the various versions of the SEGA screen in genesis games.
E. A. Sports. I’ssin the game.

The orchestral tune up of the PS3 was always a great one.
PS1, no contest. I even have that audio playing and my KDE Plasma startup sound.
Sony PlayStation 2
1989 Gameboy
GameCube’s was fun because you could make it wiggle by messing with the controls. Gameboy had something similar where if you played an OG Gameboy game on GBC, you could mess with the controls to select the colour scheme
I’ve owned 4 PSPs, jailbroken all of them…
The psp has a boot screen like that? What? I remember it was literally the ps3 boot.
That screen appears when booting a game, not the console itself.
