Mine is the Need for Speed High Stakes intro.

Syndicate, System Shock 2 and Fallout probably.
Although I also like that couple of seconds in the Master of Magic intro where he goes "Old Man"...
Old intros are the best.

Final Fantasy VIII

This one still holds a special place in my heart: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3bQ-WsquMwE. By searching for it, I decided to play it this evening :)

Btw, on the topic of video game intro's, it's one of the things I miss from the old video games.

The intros for both L4d games are really neat

Interstate '76, hands down and without question.

Agree'd, I got FFVIII at release and was gutted when my first copy had an error in it, couldnt get past the dancing cutscene at the start, had to wait a week to take it back to be exchanged.

Even now the music from that intro brings back fond memories

Diablo 1 and 2:

And pretty much anything from the PS1 and late 90s to early 2000s PC games.

I'm with them, Final Fantasy VIII has an epic intro sequence! =) And the music, oh, it's soooo good!

Official Orchestra:

To bad the game itself is incomprehensible :P

"Stand by 10-10, investigate a reported disturbance at Aesir Plaza!"
- "10-4, dispatch. Can you verify the address?"
- "That's Aesir Plaza, repeat: Aesir Plaza."
- "Shots fired on the rooftop! An assault in progress at Aesir Plaza! Repeat: An assault in progress! ... It's a war zone down here! 10-5 dispatch, we need additional units! Additional units, now! Officer in danger! Officer in danger!"
- "10-5, please repeat, 10-5! All units! All units! Emergency! Officer in danger! Aesir Plaza! Repeat: Aesir Plaza! All units,..."

"They were all dead. The final gunshot was an exclamation mark to everything that had led to this point. I released my finger from the trigger. And then it was over."

You, dear sir or ma'am, deserve an Internet!
Wonder if I can find a lossless copy of the concert.... Time to go on a mission!

And yeah, the game itself was a bit.... unusual. ;-)

Red Alert's intro.

Mostly because that guitar riff is so badass.



Oh, and I guess eliminating Hitler is worth something too.
