Very cool! Good work! I especially like the YsIV and Popful Mail screens (duh would fit in here). 
Does YsIII or Ys1-2 feature similiar error messages?
I think the Xanadu ones are also two of the nicest looking and the PCE Dragon Slayer one is probably the best one all round, becuase of how interactive it is.
Unfortunately, the other Ys games are on the lowest format(CD-ROM2), so there isn't any kind of warning message you can find. Otherwise, I'd already have another 100 pics up.
Awesome, the old page at darkcityproductions was never animated, IIRC, and hasn't been updated in ages!
I'm glad you are continuing with this project, because I've been curious about tons of titles I don't own. Rock on, Black_Tiger 
EDIT: It occurred to me that folks might also want to see Darkman's System Card Warning Screens
There aren't too many overlaps, so it's worth checking out.
That's weird that darkcity's Kabuki Itouryoden got a different picture than I did. That Kabuki pose is what I was looking for(from memory) when I fired it up, but all I could find was Radaman Ank(or whatever his name is). Maybe it random...
I actually tried to get screens shots from half of the unique titles on that page, but couldn't get them to work through emulation and didn't want to throw in random captured pics(except for the SuperGrafx one, which I could only get to on real hardware).
If anyone is a fan of Dragon Slayer and for some reason hasn't picked up the dirt cheap PC Engine version, the System Card warning message opens up a soundtest and battle preview mode with lots of cool art.
Can you put a TG-16 System Card into a TurboDuo to get the same effects?
That's how I first discovered the System Card messages. I don't know if it was the same across North America, but where I lived, they released the first Super CD games weeks/months before the system.
So of course, I couldn't help myself and bought Shape Shifter right away. My RPG-loving friend bought Dragon Slayer, which had a cool warning, but it would've been a lot cooler if it didn't have all the stuff cut from the PCE version.
The first thing I did when I got my first Arcade CD game was to try it without the Arcade Card.
I like how the warning screen for Shadow of the Beast is in high resolution. I feel like I am watching HDTV when I see that because the resolution is so high!
The intro of the game jumps back and forth between 512 and 336 width images before settling into the actual game which sadly appears to be entirely 256 x 224.
It sure would be cool to see a quality PC Engine game made at this resolution, designed to be viewed on a widescreen.
Awesome work again, Justin.
I especially love this one:
I actually snapped a lot more frames for that one and most of the other animated gif's, but cut them down when I animated them to keep the file sizes small since it quickly became clear how many images I was going to end up with on a single page.
But looking at it again for the first time in years, the full screen fmv in Madden actually looked really good(for it's time). Too bad we never got to see anything better in that format(like say, an anime cinema).
