Video game openings help set the stage for the game itself. What are your favorite video game openings? Could be the title screen, or the first bit in-game before the play starts. Could be that you like the music, or that they have a clever twist, or that they're technically impressive. Bonus points if you can link to a PeerTube or YouTube clip of them to let other people here who haven't yet seen them watch them!

Outpost, while a mediocre game had an opening cinematic set to "Mars" from Holst's The Planets which sounded AWESOME on my Roland MT-32/SCC-1 (I don't remember which I had at the time.)

Here is the intro with standard Sound Blaster music, and here is just the music played on a Roland SC-55 which sounds pretty much the same as an SCC-1.

I'm assuming, based on the YouTube channel name ("MT-32 Theater"), that this was rendered with a Roland MT-32:

Yup, that definitely sounds like an MT-32. I've updated my comment with an SCC-1 version (or close enough).
