Personal thoughts on all entries: 00:15 This was the winning entry and is what you hear when you start up Furnace (unless you have the intro set to short or off). It's definitely a nice one. 00:35 A nice calm melody all done with the SNES sound chip and Furnace's Wavetable Synth. 00:51 Personally I like this one more than the winning entry, they're similar in progression but this one hits more. Plus, it reminds me of 80s TV idents. 01:06 Kind of sounds like something you'd hear on a old flip phone and I like that. 01:22 Great use of the TSU. Sounds a bit mystical as well. 01:35 A bit basic but still good. 01:48 "Look! There I am Gary!" I didn't even think I would make it into the top 10. 02:00 This really follows along with the visuals nicely. Idk how exactly we got the same amount of votes. 02:14 An all-in-one for the MegaDrive. FM and PSG goodies. 02:27 Simple yet effective. 02:41 Very reminiscent of the Sega Saturn Japanese start-up theme. 02:55 Droplets falling through sky. 03:10 Very adventurous. 03:28 I feel like the SNES chip may be a tad bit too overpowered for us Chiptune Artists. 03:41 I think that E-Piano sample comes from a Yamaha PSR keyboard. 03:54 I thought this was OPL before I looked at the module file. Good sound design. 04:08 Interesting choice and use of the Namco WSG. 04:21 Hi, It's me again. This one didn't have a lot going for it compared to my first attempt but at least I tried to time it with the visuals. 04:36 Now THIS is OPLL used properly. 04:51 Over-engineering at it's finest. That's 6 Sound chips used here! 05:09 Sounds a bit like dubstep. OPL3 is great for that it seems. 05:22 Keygen!!! 05:36 OPL3? Nah, MA-2. An FM sound chip used on some old burner phones but is completely undocumented and discontinued after about a year of production I think. 05:50 Sounds a bit uncanny tbh 06:04 Very basic. I like it. 06:17 Sega Master System at work here. 06:29 Sounds a bit like Carve Your Own Path (An NES+N163 Chiptune made by Abstract). 06:42 Sounds serious. 06:56 Okay. I like this one. 07:10 Trance is also possible on an OPL3 chip as well it seems. 07:23 Tim Follin!!! 07:36 Breakbeat sample on an AY chip. 07:50 tis a long one... 08:12 Is this an earlier version of the other one or... 08:24 PERFECTION!!11!1!1!

Some of these are simply bangers, a shame plenty of them got the 'Deflemask penalty' for having a similar feel to Deflemask's intro, which Tildearrow was understandably trying to avoid.

Number 10, 16 @ 5:06 & 19 really show how the OPL3 could've sounded, if people didn't care about MIDI implementation back then.

all of those I really liked Good job on getting so High in the votes! that last one tho they need to add it somewhere in furnace they have to

man i wish 0:51 won first place, it sounds so COOL!!!!! i wonder if you can replace the furnace intro music without replacing it in the source code and rebuilding furnace.

Number 7 is my favorite ❤‍🩹

3:06 awesome

No 3 sounds like its from a VHS logo

I like the overengineered one and also the third one, it hits differently but good, i also like the Keygen one lol

The last one 💀

Nice Furnace oscilloscope views of some entry’s for the Furnace intro contest!😄🤩😎👌

A lot of those intros were really good. I wish at least the top 5 entries would be included in Furnace. Deflemask also has more than one intro tune after all. By the way, do you know why does entry number 3 sounds like the winning entry, despite being written by different authors?

fur files?
