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.
E. A. Sports. I’ssin the game.
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.

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.

1989 Gameboy
I think the Xbox and Gamecube are the best, but Gameboy and Playstation 1 are the most nostalgic for me.
Jamming the Z button to make the GameCube screen squeak during the animation 👨🏻🍳🤌🏻
Sega Master System
Oddly enough the games I remember most didn’t have any logo intro: Alex Kid and Ghost House.
