Video game openings help set the stage for the game itself. What are your favorite video game openings? Could be the title screen, or the first bit in-game before the play starts. Could be that you like the music, or that they have a clever twist, or that they’re technically impressive. Bonus points if you can link to a PeerTube or YouTube clip of them to let other people here who haven’t yet seen them watch them!
