Perfect Dark Nintendo 64 (N64) Opening Screen and music

Because no one else has apparently, here is the opening to Perfect Dark from the N64. And to all you copyright and DMA hounds, if people don't upload clips like this the COLLECTIVE WORKS of ELECTRONIC ARTISTS like those at Rare will be LOST FOREVER.

Let me clarify:

I AM NOT INFRINGING ON ANYONE'S COPYRIGHT. I DO NOT MAKE THIS WORK MY OWN. I AM NOT TRADING, SELLING OR OTHERWISE DISTRIBUTING THIS WORK. IT IS MERELY ON DISPLAY FOR OTHERS TO SEE, REMEMBER AND APPRECIATE. IT IS A PIECE OF OBSOLETE MEDIA FROM AN OBSOLETE MACHINE AND IS JUST ABOUT TO BE LOST TO THE WORLD FOREVER.

So shove your RIAA notices up you tukus and grant this the fair use waver it so blatantly falls under. And when this and other works like it stand in the Smithsonian, I'll happily take it down.

Actually I've just proved myself wrong! It is included in the downloads available - it's track 17, "Alien Conflict". Still, nice to see the scrolling title again :)

@mistertricks My GOD!

You are correct. Thank you for uncovering this!. Well heck, yes - I guess I can at least offer the scrolling titles for you. Funny how I wasn't able to find it in all my searching through the soundtrack. There is a lot of music there though. Thanks again!

This is the alternate opening, but still awesome.

You can change the opening somewhere under options, probably cheats.

I didn't know that. Very cool.

Now I must point out that I never changed my opening to the alternate opening. It simply came this way. No idea why but still very, very cool.

Thanks for the clarification!

Awesome commentary, I most certainly approve, though I must inquire, what exactly is the "Perfect Dark Nintendo 64 Opening Screen & Music"? Pardon my ignorance heh, but I'm not particularly well versed in the historical lore of gaming... Alas...

[Vexxarr]

@appreciatesinsanity It's the standby screen the game goes to if you insert the cartridge, turn on the game and let it sit. It's a catchy trance groove that stuck with me all these years and - despite the entire "soundtrack" being available online, this track is NEVER included. So I posted it in all it's 64bit glory. It loops fully twice and then I provide an aesthetically pleasing (to me) fade. Perfect length for those who want to rip it as an mp3 and put it in their party mix.

thank you for uploading this. i haven't un,locked that beginning... granted i thought it would be a little more extravagant for all the work you need to put in to unlock this, but still thanks!

@KillerInMe666 its ok...i understand...the remake isnt as good because it isnt as nostalgic and one doesny have the same memories playing this as they do the n64 version because they grey up with the original version...also if u have an xbox add me...im linkfreak117

[linkfreak117]

@KillerInMe666 its sooo gay that that its not in the 360 version..i always thought it was soo cool to just watch it over and over

[mistertricks]

Excellent - I just downloaded the entire soundtrack just to get this track, only to find it isn't Included! Thanks!
