Could be a console startup, title screen, intro cutscene, etc. I just got wired off an energy drink so I apologize in advance if this post is unhinged.
I personally associate it with Kirby Super Star’s intro, the Sega CD boot screen (non-US, I associate the US ones with Christmas), and the original Xbox startup.
Doom and Doom 2 MIDI’s. Playing these games at night just feels right. And also, the intro and soundtracks of Unreal Tournament '99. Absolute late night vibes.
Bro omg Kirby super star was the shit when I was a kid. I played the remake for DS and I played the shit outta that game. So many nights laying in bed playing that game all night
my friends and i were just getting into the game and we didn’t know how long a good run could go.
for the uninitiated, barony is a coop roguelite that is very difficult especially in the early game, so all our runs had died relatively quickly. we had no clue that a winning run could take over 3 hours… so we celebrated our victory in the morning sunlight.
In the past it was Link to the past character select screen music. Today Satisfactory start up menu music that game must generate a time dilatation field. I swear I only play for 10 mins then it’s 5am and I have to go to work.
God, yes. Keeping your fingers crossed the whole time.
That was me and Jak 3 on PS2. It was a copy a friend had let me keep because I kept playing it all the time at their house. It was scratched a bit so every often it just wouldn’t start.

FF Tactics. But the OG Twisted Metal was the first haha
The explosions in that game were so cool

When it’s 3am and you aren’t certain if the head started to turn or not…
Zelda OOT, or vanilla WoW. Hearing the intro music from either is a pretty strong nostalgia hit.
barony!

The Wild Arms opening music and scene always does this for me. I’ve been replaying it on a CRT and it holds up decently well.
The chunky, thundering sound of the ID logo smashing into the screen when starting up Quake 3 Arena. So many LAN parties…
Nice, I just heard it in my head, thanks!
HOMM III
The red Valve picture and ‘Dang!’ sound at the start of CS 1.6
The Rare developer screen for sure
They had so many great games. Which one is the one you think of most?
I’d say either DK64 or Diddy Kong Racing
Rimworld loading add-ons and then a wall of red text.

PS1 intro screen. Mainly because my PS1 sucked since it was second hand and I had to restart it a lot.
Kids these days will never know the relief of hearing the swooshing sound when you finally see the Playstation logo after praying for a disk to read
