I liked the old Gameboy start up (you know, the 1989 green/black screen version).

A simple 'Nintendo" logo descends from the the top of the screen, hits the middle and then you hear that distinctive chime.
Simple, quick and easy on the eyes.

Probably the GameCube start up screen.

So much nostalgia.

There is no Windows CE in the console itself, just in the discs of the few games that use it.

It was mostly visual novels that used the DC's Windows CE, actually.

<S.Yagawa> I like the challenge of "doing the impossible" with older hardware, and pushing it as far as it can go.

Mega-CD:
Japan: Love that music and the S&R effects on the Mega CD logo that put Mode 7 to shame.
Euro: Same music as Japan version, somewhat similar to the USA Sega-CD version except there's an even cooler green MEGA-CD logo.

Sega Saturn (Japan)
Looks cool plus you can also skip it if you're in a hurry to get to the game.

Neo-Geo:
Especially for the cool 8-note jingle.
Kinect? KIN NOT.

Really cool tune! It reminds me of some kind of dark PC adventure/RPG game from the 90's. Maybe I'm getting some Hexen vibes, haha.
