Notable Games
Amiga CD32 games often included long, cinematic intro sequences; the hardware was no more powerful than an Amiga 1200, but the 650 Mb of space on each CD could be easily filled with pre-rendered videos. The launch titles Microcosm and Liberation featured a long cinematic video, with Super Stardust and Alien Breed: Tower Assault following later.
Frontier: Elite 2 was an early game to feature an intro sequence created entirely with the game engine.
Zero Wing's poorly translated intro sequence provided the basis for the "All your base are belong to us" meme of the early 2000s.

Famous quotes containing the words notable and/or games:
“Every notable advance in technique or organization has to be paid for, and in most cases the debit is more or less equivalent to the credit. Except of course when it’s more than equivalent, as it has been with universal education, for example, or wireless, or these damned aeroplanes. In which case, of course, your progress is a step backwards and downwards.”
—Aldous Huxley (1894–1963)
“In the past, it seemed to make sense for a sportswriter on sabbatical from the playpen to attend the quadrennial hawgkilling when Presidential candidates are chosen, to observe and report upon politicians at play. After all, national conventions are games of a sort, and sports offers few spectacles richer in low comedy.”
—Walter Wellesley (Red)
