I agree with you on the GH Ambulance opening. I play it all the time because of the classic memories that were Golden Age when I was younger but they had to move on because it was too dated for the new audience. That's my thoughts. Does not mean I speak for everyone.

I was only 5 when I already thought that the introduction was quite short. And my guess of why the 'view' stopped at the building and 'General Hospital' emerged from the exact same direction, I thought that it was unknown to the ambulance driver that he drove right by the hospital totally lost and unaware that he missed it. Like- 'It was right there!"
