Simitar Entertainment Inc. Warning Screen

1985-1990, 1993
Warning: On a black background, we see the word "WARNING" in a large red LCD font as the generic warning text in white types out below.

FX/SFX: The warning text typing in.

Music/Sounds: None.

Availability: Seen on Simitar tapes with the slient version of the first and second logos (it's currently unknown if it has appeared on any tapes with the regular version).

Scare Factor: None, unless you want to count the fact it precedes a scary logo. Regardless, this is one of the more unique FBI warnings out there.

1985-2000
Warning: On a black background, there are the words "NOTICE TO USER" and below it is the warning text.

Variant: On Starmaker Entertainment releases, the warning text is orange.

FX/SFX: None.

Music/Sounds: None.

Availability: Seen on certain Simitar tapes from 1985 to 2000.

Scare Factor: Low.

1990
Warning: On a black background, we see the red word "WARNING" flying in as the generic warning text in white types out below.

FX/SFX: The "WARNING" text flying in, the warning text typing in.

Music/Sounds: None.

Availability: TBA.

Scare Factor: Low; the word "WARNING" flying in may unnerve some.

1990-2000
Warning: On a black background, we see the word "WARNING" in a tall red font that flashes. Underneath it, we see white text.

FX/SFX: The flashing red on "WARNING".

Cheesy Factor: Not as wordy as the previous warnings, but the flashing red "WARNING" may cause seizures.

Variant: There is an early version of this warning where the red "WARNING" text is in a different font and is a bit narrower.

Music/Sounds: None.

Availability: Rare. Seen on some tapes after the "Gold Bars" logo ends. It is also seen on some DVDs before the Simitar DVD logo begins.

Scare Factor: Medium to high; the rather tall font for "WARNING" and the flashing may be very unsettling.
