High Voltage Software
Background: High Voltage Software, despite the name, is a video gaming company that produces games for many systems, such as the NBA Inside Drive series, Paperboy, etc.
1st Logo
(1995-????)
Nickname: "The High Voltage Tower"
Logo: We see a box containing a dark-blue sky background with an electrical tower (like the ones you see near factories). The words
HIGH VOLTAGE
SOFTWARE
are shown curved around the tower. Two yellow and black strips of warning tape with "DANGER!!! HIGH VOLTAGE!!!" written on them in red slide in from the top and bottom sides of the screen, and four electrical bolts shoot out from the tower four times, each in a diagonal corner of the screen. The warning strips slide away.
FX/Cheesy Factor: The electricity.
Music/Sounds: The start of the menu theme for whatever game it appears in, along with the thunderclap.
Availability: Seen on High Voltage games of the time, like NBA Jam: Tournament Edition and White Men Can't Jump for the Atari Jaguar.

Scare Factor: Minimal; the thunderclap may catch some people off guard, but other than that, it's tame.

Watch
On some games like White Men Can't Jump and NBa Jam Tournament Edition (Both for the Atari Jaguar), I saw an old logo.
1st Logo: Early 1990s Description: A box containing a dark-blue sky background with an electrical tower (like those things you see near factories) and the words: HIGH VOLTAGE software come together in the center of the screen (coming from the top and bottom of the screen, respectively). As they come together, we hear a sort of an electric whoosh sound (sounds like "ppppeeehhhooooouuuu" in a low tone). A small row of electricity comes from the top of the tower and heads downward and an electrical surge is heard. Cheesy Factor: The parts coming together, the sound effect, the electrical surge are all the basis of swiss. Music: The start of the menu theme for whatever game it's in. Sound Effects: The whoosh, the surge Scare Factor: The electric surge may catch some people off guard, but other than that, it's tame. |
