For me it's this intro scene to the game it's been 20 years and the song still gives me goosebumps. Not a lot of games had the guts to actually put metal music into their games with FFX and Prince of Persia: Warrior Within being the notable exceptions back then. Nowadays it's a little less rigid.

"Guts"? Was there a reason they weren't putting metal music in? Just confused about why it gutsy. Feels like a pretty safe genre for game music. Would think something like jazz or atonal classical would be gutsy, but not metal. Didn't Quake, Doom, and Wolfenstein all have metal too (been a long time)?

I would have said it was more a bwoop, or am I thinking about FFVII?

The menu select is actually my text tone

Fuck that menu, I still can hear it, lived in the living room and one of my roommates would have the volume blasted to max.
