man this brings me memories, i used to left this intro play on for hours just to listen to the music, I once got a complaint from the neighbors for playing it too loud but i couldn't get enough of it, it was and it still is mesmerizing as fuck.
Someone posted about this on FB and was confused too. This alternate intro only will appear if you beat the game on Perfect Agent difficulty I believe. It also plays this after you beat the game and then you have to reset the console to get out of it. Once you do that then instead of showing the first mission intro it plays this instead.
you only need to beat game on Agent or Special Agent as I haven’t beaten perfect on N64 and I’ve got the Alternate opening sequence. Sadly it’s not available on Xbox
My god. I rediscovered this track turning on my N64 after +15 years and am so pleased it’s been uploaded to youtube. This game was the after school pastime for me in grades 11 and 12 and combat training with 4 friends and 8 sims was the fucking greatest thing in life back then.
I know I'm late but it will only do this if you beat the last level. I never really tried it but some people are saying if you let it the game run it's intro cycle for like 5-10 minutes it will work as well but I don't know about that.
Kimeters i know the same thing happen to me! When i was in kinder( im in 7th now) i used to like this part, then i dont know what happen and this part was cut and it lead to a mission cut scene
All of these posts are 100% correct. Whoever finally decided to upload this (and credit to Vexxarr for being so modest wrt taking the plaudits) is a genius. It's fantastic. This PD64 opening screen sequence was sadly lacking from the recent XBox 360 reworking and the developers would have done well to include it. May I also say that GoldenEye 64 was an truly amazing game but Perfect Dark is a refined, improved, and dare I say 'Perfect' sequel which is better in every aspect.
I get that this comment is old as hell and im assuming you were just a child when you posted this, but you can have the PD64 opening sequence considering copyright issues. What a long winded stupid fucking comment this was lol.
0:31 When the magazine articles said this game was rebranded too many times, starting from a 007 sequel game, passing through a The Terminator game to then be the game we love and know, I've never imagined it was so straight encapsulated in this moment. Literally its a T1 intro homage played here, LMAO!
@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.
could make a perfect James Bond movie intro, if there was a first scene, and face to the strange mysterious intro. Just needs some 90's pop/rock diva singing something about darkness and perfection, finishing with the well known riff, and you're all good~
I love TH-camrs. I used to put my console on sometimes only to hear this for a while (worth any other CD after all)... and assumed somebody would have done the upload just for crazy ppl like me. Cheers ;-)
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!
I didn't have this intro until I completed 'The Duel' bonus mission (which also has a wicked riff on the main Perfect Dark theme). Thanks for uploading this dude and I love the copyright note ;) haha. Im so glad I still have this and my n64 :D
@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!
I managed to get a new n64 copy but this intro is not there like I remember. Do i have to beat the game to unlock it or is there some setting or button to press to start this?
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!
@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
This why a lot of generation 1990+ ended up listening to triphop
man this brings me memories, i used to left this intro play on for hours just to listen to the music, I once got a complaint from the neighbors for playing it too loud but i couldn't get enough of it, it was and it still is mesmerizing as fuck.
perfect dark is probably my favorite thing from the year 2000

Does work on the Xbox version ?

It took many hours with friends to access this opening. Wow.

when I emulate this, it doesn't play this cut scene and it was always one of my favourite things on the original N64
yeah i noticed that too :(
I know I'm late but it will only do this if you beat the last level. I never really tried it but some people are saying if you let it the game run it's intro cycle for like 5-10 minutes it will work as well but I don't know about that.
***** agreed, in fact it's true that this is actually just showing up when the last mission is unlocked
Kimeters i know the same thing happen to me! When i was in kinder( im in 7th now) i used to like this part, then i dont know what happen and this part was cut and it lead to a mission cut scene
This unlocked when you beat the game and enabled "alternative title screen" in options iirc

Such... amazing... memories
This is one of the best starting soundtracks to any game in history. That is if you finished the game.

Thank you for uploading this 👍
MASTERPIECE
That's what I've been hearing for years.

Man.. when the harmonizing voices come in at the startup. Chills.
Dang, i wish they had this intro on the xbox version
I would turn on my n64 just to have this song play in the background.
I remember I had to beat the game once at least to get this Intro. Before that I never saw it.
This intro would fit perfectly in a 007 bond movie
Nostalgia overload.
This brings so many great memories, me and my brother got this game for Christmas and obsessed about it, best N64 game hands down!
Such a great game.
I remember when I unlocked this after beating the game I thought it was the coolest thing ever 💪😎👍thanks for keeping the memories alive ⚙️⚙️⚙️
Great memories
I love TH-camrs. I used to put my console on sometimes only to hear this for a while (worth any other CD after all)... and assumed somebody would have done the upload just for crazy ppl like me. Cheers ;-)
They don't do games like this anymore
I'm apprehensive about the reboot because the old Rareware team is no more and we'll never get a greater leap as with that game and Half-Life.
Great intro
Por dios, que recuerdos.
Much better then showing datadyne intro.
Doooont jooke! 😂
I Love This Game I Unlocked This Intro In The Xbox 360 Version
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!
Awsome shit man! I had the OST of this song for a couple years now, but i was unable to find it anywhere on youtube. Great upload!
I didn't have this intro until I completed 'The Duel' bonus mission (which also has a wicked riff on the main Perfect Dark theme). Thanks for uploading this dude and I love the copyright note ;) haha. Im so glad I still have this and my n64 :D
@mistertricks My GOD!

Lol, yep... Definitely let this play on repeat, classic.
Such a banger!!!
Incredible late 90’s nostalgia 😂
Que buenaaaa rolona de loss años 90 en adelante
I managed to get a new n64 copy but this intro is not there like I remember. Do i have to beat the game to unlock it or is there some setting or button to press to start this?
So, this game got recently released on Switch. Can anyone confirm it's in there also?
Confirmed, it's in there.
0:16 0:25
Hang on I played this game RELIGIOUSLY on the N64 and I don't remember this cut scene at all.
You missed something so GOOD!
Looks like old windows media player
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!
How would someone find these songs by name possibly?
Perfect Dark Alien Conflict
This wasn't emulated on a Mac, right? ;D
🤘
Sad Ben Affleck sent me here

@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
You only can see that scene when you first play perfect dark in the original hardware. PC Emulations can't do it for any reason.
Beat the game first. Then it will work.
