Logo (1995-April 30, 1997)

Visuals: A flurry of stars/dots reveals the filmstrip from the MPCA logo in blue, while the eagle head outline draws in red. As the logo zooms out, a CD fades in behind it and the company name appears below. "INTERACTIVE" then zooms in and stops below the logo.

Technique: 2D computer animation.

Audio: A metallic rising synth drone with a bang at the end.

Availability: So far, seen on the PC game adaptation of Soldier Boyz and Bloodwings: Pumpkinhead's Revenge for DOS.
