Sega CD (Mega CD) - North American Model 1 BIOS Music Extended

I haven't seen that many extended versions of the BIOS music for the Sega CD, so I decided to upload the themes.
Enjoy dancing Sega and Sega CD logos for 30 minutes to some classic game console music.
(Note: I don't normally upload extended music.)
Composed by David Javelosa.

[@cyclops8238]

when you really think about it this BIOS start up is also sort of a tech demo in a matter of speaking considering how the sprites can be scaled and stretched as well as freely rotating.

[@PriddhasPengu]

I think it also demonstrated a good portion of the sound capabilities of the Mega-CD unit as well.

[@inspectahtech]

I 100% agree with this

[@liamsemicolon]

@@PriddhasPengu yeah, that ricoh chip absolutely _shines_ in every bios theme

[@PriddhasPengu]

@@liamsemicolon And the Yamaha YM2612/YM3438 sound chip got in on the fun for North America's two BIOS themes.

[@liamsemicolon]

@@PriddhasPengu right!

[@darkastro7131]

God I love this bios so much with the logos playing around IN SPACE. Also all the music tracks from all the different versions slap.

[@thechannelofrandomvideos789]

They actually do and I love em.

[@sonicfanatic6733]

I agree! They are all very representative of the personality the Genesis/Mega Drive had in its specific regions, and I love it for that!

[@STH2008]

But the entire world is brown for some reason and not blue and green

[@conlia]

This version of the BIOS theme is triumphant and upbeat.The BIOS 2 theme has an epic feel.

[@monkeygaming2841]

the bios 1 animations are better

[@TheNintendobomb]

I always wondered why the US bios' earth was brown and black-ish while the EU/JPN version was more blue and green.

[@scrubscrub4492]

I think it has to do with the idea that it's meant to be the same time of day all around in the image, so it's night in America while Day in Europe and Japan.

[@JordanViknar]

@@scrubscrub4492 Idk how it is in Japan, but I guess it's blue in Europe either because of first color we think when we think either about Europe or Earth... Blue.

I love how the demo showed off the add on’s scaling and rotation capabilities that the games never used. Fail.

[@chowmein0941]

Some games did use the rotation features. The ones I know are the batman driving section, the loading screen in spider man, and the fake mega cd bios in panic.

Before there was a dvd bios, we had this... I remember just turning on the sega cd just to hear the bios

This fits right into the 80s/90s synthesizer vibes, like those old VHS tape intros.

Neat how some of the early animations were explicitly made synchronous with the music. Edit: in fact, they're only _slightly_ desynced when the animation cycle starts over!
