For sheer comedy and storytelling, you can't beat the Monkey Island series (sorry for the sound, was the best I could find in the time available). The intro to number three is especially good, once you get past the credits. Drops you nicely into the story.

Am I the only one who skips them?
I know friends were always shocked to see but really..someone out there must share my lack of interest for an intro and impatience?

I'm shocked and appalled!
I usually watch through the Another Century's Episode 3 pretty much every time I fire the game up.

the full throttle intro was cool too; best theme music in a point and click adventure game evar.
anybody know who it's by? something-or-other jackles i think.
The song is "Legacy" by The Gone Jackals. If you can find it, the Bone to Pick album is a decent purchase, although it suffers from some sub-par sound engineering.
...what am I saying, "if" you can find it? The likes of Amazon Marketplace has made finding odd albums far too easy these days. One of the things I used to really look forward to on trips to the US was finding the used record stores and coming home with a metric shedload of albums that were great and almost impossible to get in Europe. Still like doing that, but the thrill is significantly reduced.
Anyway, back to the subject: This thread brought back memories of the Intros the c.racking crews used to slap onto the "releases of questionable legality" for the Amiga 500. I really got into those, to the point where I would get a copy of a game from someone because it had a really well made intro. So much more challenging than the ascii-art that the current generation of warez people pop into the archive file. But I guess people just aren't willing to accept the disruption to the game entering process anymore. I know I am somewhat miffed at the fact that to load up Crysis I have to skip seven logo animation/advertising screens.
