I'm reading this extensive mactech article:
in the hopes of doing a cursed booting INIT. This time, I'm targeting ease of use and focusing on System 6 only, maybe add System 7 later. But my idea would be slightly funnier in System 6.
I want to play a properly formatted snd resource that mimicks either the Win95 or Win98se startup sound.
Seems like there's some resource wrangling that has to occur to make sure your INIT type code doesn't get shoved around by other things and I'm not sure if the proper strategy is to play it right away (while the icon would appear at the 'Welcome to Macintosh' sequence) or wait a bit later when the desktop graphics is loaded up using some timer callback routine.
Bonus points: display a full screen mockup screenshot of windows 95/98 that can be dismissed with a click.
The Cursed System 6 boot.
I got the idea from 'Macintosh Programming Secrets 1988' with this passage:
