Number ten rocking the Playstation 2,
complete with disc and memory pack
for those sweet sweet towering
rectangles.

Number nine is the Sega Megadrive
shout, you know, that SEGA in front
of games a plenty. Oooh, that digitised
delectability.

Never played a number eight, the
NEOGEO CD startup chime, but man
does it scratch a little old itch inside
my mamallian brain.

Number seven is your basic, honest to
goodness, square of gaming nirvana,
called the Gamecube. Special versions
do exist!

Number six is 2000, Windows 2000 to be
precise, a mixture of NT and 32bit, that
joyful startup brings the reverb
and the happiness!

Number five is when a Mac boots up,
you know the one, the bwong that
hits before even a screen lights.
Wall⋅E represent!

Number four is a specific, that being
the PlayStation 3 orchestra on Pre 2.80
firmware as later ones removed such
sumptuous strings.

Number three is the Dreamcast swirl,
the twirly blue spiral bringing
128bit when the world was never ready,
you died too soon.

Number two is the obvious console
GOAT of the PSX booting with disc
inside. Whimmmmmmmmm
bwwwwoooommmm schiiiiiiinnnn!

And your first place winner, the crown
of my heart! HELLO! Come on down,
Windows 98 Special Edition boot
audio, you are the nation’s champion.
