Start screens may not serve much of a purpose, but over the years they’ve acted as a canvas for game developers to show off their hard work. And those start screens have a lasting impact: if you hammered away on a game when you were a kid, that start sequence probably has a special place somewhere in your heart. Some of the greatest such sequences come from the classic era of game consoles, and now you can check out all of the start screens from the SNES in one video — if you have nine hours to spare. YouTube user NicksplosionFX has uploaded a massive video that he claims features every single game released for the console (that’s over 700 titles). And if you’re looking for something from the 8-bit era, a second video released earlier this year covers all NES games.
