Stand Out Game Introductions

Well today I was playing an online Video Game Music quiz and I happened upon the opening theme of Cannon Fodder. I’ll just say that I had no idea what was coming there, it starts out with ska chords and goes into “♫ War, never been so much fun…♫” So for the focus of this article I will talk about some attention grabbing intros.  Not all of them need take the Cannon Fodder approach but all of them have some quality that makes them unforgettable.

Breaking Up the Monotony with some Snood

Well I was moseying around my old computer and I noticed an image on the desktop. An image that I knew immediately and any fan would too:

It is non other than Jake the snood. Back when this game was getting popular and I discovered it, I was surfing AOL 7.0 on my Windows 98 PC -  those were the days.

But anyway, today I bring you a revisit of Snood, a game that had its start way back in 1996 (at this point that does not sound right to say) by creator David M. Dobson.

Tetris Revisited, for Five Seconds.

So there is one version of Tetris I forgot to mention in the last article. I’m sure you’ll love it. It’s easy to win, and even easier to master! Best yet! You can get a high score every time… and never lose!

For those who got mad at Bastard Tetris back in the last post, check out this version!

Tetris: When you mess with a classic, nightmares occur. (Three Tetris hybrids bound to make you hate the game)

When my Video Games Live Volume One CD came in the mail, I was immediately interested in listening to the Tetris Piano Opus. There’s always something about hearing that repetitive, but addicting, little theme. It makes you want to build buildings out of oddly shaped bricks – not to mention gets stuck in your head for the next two weeks. But put yourself in this scenario: 1) You don’t own Tetris, and 2) You have the internet. So you go online to find the game, but Google comes back with some less the desired results.

This is what happens when you trust the internet with a classic game.
