My first PC, a 286. Still remember all the sounds it did (from checking the memory, the CPU, the GPU, the drives and the extension cards) and the sequence they played. Wish I had it recorded at the time, because it was very iconic.

Another blast from the past: My most hated boot sequence is from our old 56k modem. God, were those things annoyingly noisy.

Atari 2600.

There was none. Flick the switch > game. Done.

I always loved the startup sequence of the original Xbox with the reactor firing up, it was so badass



Bet with Liquidlaser: I say PS5 and Xbox Series will sell more than 56 million combined by the end of 2023.

PS2 instantly comes to mind. It's the startup sound that's so iconic, it wins on that alone.

I think I'll go with PS2, although Gamecube seems pretty cool too.

The PS2 Disc Read Error.

The PS1, probably because it was my first. I thought it was a cool little touch back whenever I decided to boot up FFVII. The Xbox and Dreamcast ones were pretty cool, too.

I'm also partial to the Windows 95 & 98 startup sounds. I know it's not a console, but I still really liked those mellow tunes.

This one because it reminds me of nights in my room, playing F-Zero or Oracle of Ages with glorious SNES+ graphics:
