grumpy_gecko_9714: SEGA scream in B is criminal. That one word ate a huge chunk of the Sonic cartridge and it was worth every byte.
kate.j163: How is GameCube not above everything else? Short, satisfying, and the little cube drops into place with that dun.
otterfan: PS2 in A because it jumpscared every kid who left the TV volume up at midnight.
kate_n15: PS1 in S is the only placement on this list nobody gets to argue with. That deep whoosh into the sparkly chime and the Sony logo, then you're 11 again loading Resident Evil.
jenl79: netflix ta-dum is not a startup sound
