Ive gotta say MGS2 or Tomb Raider. Those 2 give me such sweet nostalgic feeling Smile

STALKER : shadow of chernobyl also had a good intro, the lightning and the truck with the dead guys.

Has anyone mentioned Sam 'n Max or Day of the Tentacle ... back in the days of games on floppies, those Lucasarts intros used to blow me away. I saw Full Throttle mentioned... I might've just glossed over these two. The Gabriel Knight games had some cool intros too.

Haven't seen it mentioned yet, but I-War has perhaps one of the greatest intros (no less than 14 minutes) in a game. And this is from 1998.

Part 1
Part 2

Still one of the best space sims to date.


Upcoming PC games 2009 and onwards

fallout or fallout 2...... "war.war never changes" - ron perlman or whoever said that had the whole feeling of the game nailed in those 4 words in the intro, dark, gritty and hella fun

was pretty good back in the days. That music was burned in my mind the first time I saw that video.

's intro was also among my favorites, mostly because of the original Hell March (all the remakes suck ass).

Never played Spellforce but the intro looked damn impressive.


The game is a great mix of RTS and RPG, probably the best mix up to now IMO. I had loads of fun with it and it's expansions, Breath of Winter and Shadow of the Phoenix. Just don't make the mistake of playing the sequel... (which took away all the uniqueness of the first game and turned Spellforce into a mediocre RTS).

Onimusha 3's intro was amazing:


Yeah, that looked great indeed. Also, lol @ Jean Reno.

Dune... the first one, RTS (actually one of the first games in this genre ever). I still remember the voice introducing three sides of the conflict: "The noble Atreides, the insidious Ordos, and the evil Harkonnen..." Anyone still remembers that? I guess I'm just old Sad

The game came on four floppies. These were the days Smile

One of the first, as far as i know Dune 2 was the first RTS (or atleast the game that created the genre that now is RTS).

I had Dune 2 on the Amiga, i love that game (i still play it from time to time).

I know it's not an intro, but anyone that has played COD4 and remembers the nuclear blast... Well, that one. Definitely gave me shivers more than anything else I have ever played.
