I have seen many great About... Boxes.  These come to mind:

1) CoreWars which had starwars music and a perspective scrolling list of
   credits.  The problem was that the perspective effect was not smooth.
2) The various ICOM Simulation games (Deja Vu, UnInvited, ShadowGate) all
   have great About... boxes.  Uninvited's is graveyard with clasic music
   playing and the various authors heads popping up from the graves to
   the beat of the music!
3) The About... box in SoundEdit is absolutly wonderful...  It is a standard
   La-Bomba box with a burning fuse (and sound effects) which burns down 
   at which stage the bomb BLOWS (again, with sound effects).  It is in
   color on a macII (fuse is red, sparks yellow).  The closing ICON is of
   a doggy next to a burnt out Mac (the doggy is the SoundEdit mascot I guess).
