In Video Games, loading new data such as the next level takes time. Just throwing up a black screen during the process might cause players to think the game isn't working. In order to prevent this, the loading screen was born. It might be as simple as the word "Loading" on the black screen or might include colourful animation or progress bars to show that, "no really, the game is working on something right now..."
As games have grown larger, more complex and more detailed, loading times have increased in many games. This began in earnest with the original PlayStation thanks to the data having to be copied from the disc, which was much slower than the preceding cartridge-based systems. This resulted in the creation of loading screens to let the player know the level is being, well, loaded. Some of the possible features are:

Batman: Arkham Asylum uses a similar trick. The game also adapts the length of the opening animation to the loading time required: a high-security door may spend some time scanning you and slowly unbolting, or it might open instantly if the level behind it is already loaded.

South Park: The Fractured but Whole features tips during the loading screens. Some of them are real gameplay and strategy tips, while others are jokes, such as the "tip" that you can read tips during the loading screen.
There are five possible loading screen on South Park: Phone Destroyer depicts the kids fighting in one of the five themes, as well as tips on the bottom giving tips on how certain game mechanics work and the benefits of certain classes and themes.

When entering a town in the PS360 version of Sonic Unleashed, the display shows a map of the current town, including the location of the Entrance Stage, the World Map gate, Pickle's lab, and even shops.
When entering a stage, day or night, the game gives you a friendly reminder of the controls. It doesn't last long enough to remember everything though. Thankfully the game is easy to pick up.

Battlefield games typically show some sort of information about the battle you're going to join in its loading screens - Battlefield 2 would show an overhead map of the area, for instance, showing the default placement of control posts. Bad Company 2 goes a step further, where the loading screen has a clickable button asking if you'd like to automatically be assigned to a squad, and loading a new map from that server shows a scoreboard listing the experience and pins you've gained in the last round.

Fire Emblem games on Nintendo Switch:
Fire Emblem: Three Houses has tips on its loading screen, from how supports with units work to how you can spend your time around the monastery. A small sprite of Byleth appears above the progress bar, and they will walk/run to the left or right depending on how the player tilts the controller.
Fire Emblem Warriors: Three Hopes will display a random selection of character profiles, game tips, or contents of books you've collected around the base camp.
Fire Emblem Engage shows tips at the top of its loading screens, and running sprites of the units you used in your most recent battle on the bottom.

Grand Theft Auto V's lengthy start-of-game loading screen includes game play tips, many of which are actually useful. Even better, the notes can be revisited in the game's "Brief" menu if you want to read them again (at least until you shut the game off and load it again). Otherwise, the game itself averts the trope by having no overt loading sequences.

Starting up the game will feature either a news report for information off the main story or a shot of Ann and Ayane with text giving gameplay advice. Using a teleport spring or an elevator has a loading shot of it going to its destination before arriving. Lastly, traveling to any location shows Ann driving in her vehicle.

Assassin's Creed had you control the character in mist trying to sync to your ancestor while loading. You could use this time to test out the controls, or just walk menacingly into the camera. During these mist sequences (either the interactive one, or the simpler Animus logo one), useful hints would be read out to you by the computer. The rest of the franchise has continued with this style of loading screen.

Ace Combat 5 and Zero would typically quote poetry during loading screens. 5 would show excerpts from a poem made for the game, the legend of the game's Demon of Razgriz, while Zero showed real-world poetry that dealt with existence itself.
Ace Combat 04: Shattered Skies, when it didn't have a short text blurb reminding you of your objective (typically scoring a certain number of points in a certain amount of time), had the quote "Amidst the blue skies, a link from past to future. The sheltering wings of the protector..." over a black screen in the same manner as the later two games above.

World of Warcraft displays gameplay tips on loading screens when starting the game and changing continents. There's also loading screens while going into instances.
Warcraft III had a loading screen that, in story mode, displayed a general map placing the battlefield(and the location of previous missions, if they were on the same map), the number and name of the mission as well as information on the background of the mission; multiplayers maps didn't always use any of this to any real potential.

It's unusual for a webcomic to get a mention on this page, but Homestuck has certainly earned its place with the Sburb loading screen. Its Flash updates have loading screens too, but they're nothing special, usually. The last "flash" was actually hosted on Youtube, and so wouldn't need a loading screen, but they were considered so important that the video starts with a loading screen type animation.

The early Resident Evil games showed an animation of a door opening every time you entered a new room in order to disguise the loading time.
These doors eventually stuck — when they made the remake for the Gamecube the developers were able to all but eliminate loading times, but playtesters reported that moving from room to room so seamlessly felt unnatural, and the "door opening" sequences were kept in to extend the (perceived) loading times. However, when a Door gets destroyed you can just go straight from one room into another.
With the DS port of the first game, those were just made optional.
Some games in the series also throw curveballs with their door opening scenes: on occasion, zombies may come shambling through the door!
Batman: Arkham Asylum uses a similar trick. The game also adapts the length of the opening animation to the loading time required: a high-security door may spend some time scanning you and slowly unbolting, or it might open instantly if the level behind it is already loaded.
Resident Evil 5 not only has loading screens at the beginning of each chapter, but for the sublevels within each chapter. They tell about various events in the history of the series.

One of the more pointless changes made to the English translation of the original Persona was adding an unattractive loading screen to the North American version of the game. Even more irritatingly, it'd show up for the many, many brief load times in the game, so sometimes it'd flash up just long enough to be disruptive, without actually distracting from any meaningful load time.

After hitting the X button to start loading a level in LittleBigPlanet (Story, Create Mode or otherwise), the screen shows information about the level on the "Pod Computer" screen. You can move the left stick to change windows between level information, items collected in the level, and popularity and tags (if an online level), with your Sackperson moving the Pod Computer (which is pretty much a PS3 controller) controls the same way. Also part of the loading is the word "Loading..." slowly rotating around the level icon on the planet or moon, and a running, monochromatic Sackboy with two arrows circling him in the lower left-hand corner. Unlike in most games, the loading can be cancelled mid-load by pressing the Circle button. (Sackboy only touches the buttons to load a level or cancel a load. But he always moves the analog sticks in response to the player's controller.) When the loading is done, the level icon literally "unzips" around the edge and the camera goes into it, with a white light followed by Sackboy popping out of the Entrance in the level. Returning to the Pod from a level doesn't take as long to load, but the camera still does the white-light thing.
The "Loading Sackboy" animation sometimes is switched out for a spinning globe inside the arrows when transferring data to or from the online servers. Frequently appears while playing with other players online, even mid-level.
In the second game onwards, there will occasionally be a white screen before you get dropped into the level. This screen will have a randomized message and factoid, such as creating tips like "Sackbots are not waterproof!" In Karting, there are three sets of messages: When you're loading a level to play, when you're returning to the Pod, and when you're loading Create Mode. Pressing X will cycle between the messages.

Dragon Age: Origins occasionally shows info about lore and gameplay on loading screens. Alternately, the on-screen text contains reminders about your current Main Quest, encapsulated in an expository synopsis touching on where you are, why you're there, personalities involved, and your possible objective(s).
In Dragon Age II, the loading screens still occasionally offer a How We Got Here synopsis of the major plot of the current act, but more often they contain odd bits of lore. This actually gets a minor Call-Back in Dragon Age: Inquisition, in which you may encounter a quizmaster NPC who asks questions about Dragon Age lore; one of the answers is something you could only have learned from the second game's loading screens.

In Metal Gear Solid 4: Guns of the Patriots, Snake smokes for twenty minutes while it installs data onto your hard drive. It also has many messages, including one about how smoking will kill you. when it's done, Snakes acknowledges that he "Kept you waiting, huh?" Egregiously, the "loading" screen states that it's installing the current act (there are five), which makes sense. Until you restart the game, and it installs the first act again. God help you if you have multiple games in multiple acts; it only stores one act at a time on the drive. The installing to the hard disk per act can be blamed on Sony, who at the time had a maximum allowed installation size. They've since lifted this restriction, and with the 2.00 update following the shutdown of this game's online component came the option to install all five acts to the drive, allowing for seamless transitions between them barely any longer than those between different areas of a single act.

Max Payne 3's loading screens were similar in intent to Call of Duty's, albeit in a much more "seamless" manner by shifting from realtime cutscenes to pre-rendered Bink videos whenever a level is loaded. And to make things even more seamless, the videos were encoded in 1080p, bloating the game's resource footprint even further.

Honkai Impact 3rd: The loading screen is set from the First-Person Perspective of the player, who is in an elevator car that's rising through the decks of the flying battleship Hyperion. Once you tap the screen to actually enter the game, there's a final shot of the elevator passing a bulkhead and stopping; the doors open, a "Captain on the bridge!" announcement is made, the player steps onto the bridge, and the Valkyrie who's assigned to the bridge turns around to face the player as the controls appear on screen.

Mass Effect has elevators. Anybody who's played the game can tell you that there are a lot of elevators. Shepard goes through more elevators in a day than most people do in a month in the first game. The decontamination sequence upon boarding the Normandy also qualifies.
Mass Effect 2 replaces the elevator sequences with loading videos, which also include gameplay tips. Most are pretty straightforward, like control reminders, but one stands out: "There are no decent galactic dating services. If you want to find romance, you must talk to people." No matter how quickly the game actually loads, you're stuck staring at the loading screen until the video finishes playing.
Finally, Mass Effect 3 gave up and dispensed with the videos too, just using straight loading screens, which finally makes loading take exactly as it should instead of being artificially prolonged. Even the dreaded Citadel elevators are rendered as loading screens. However, both Mass Effect 2 and Mass Effect 3 still retain disguised loading screens in the form of closed doors; the spinning animation for the door security hologram actually plays while the area behind the door is loading, which is why it can take more or less time depending on performance.

Ratchet & Clank: Rift Apart is an interesting case: being a PlayStation 5 exclusive title, it can easily load in the next world in less than a second (and certain levels turn this into a gameplay mechanic). Despite this, it still has a shot of Ratchet's / Rivet's ship arriving at their destination from space, likely because the series has done that with every previous game.

Phantasy Star Online has 2. When you first start the game (after picking your character) you get to control a little ball of light until the game loads. When you are going through a warp you can control the "Warp Rings."

Loading screens in most versions of Shadow of the Beast showed little snippets about your eyes adjusting to the dim light, or returning to the overworld to find its air scorching hot, reaffirming your determination to etc. Simple, effective, bloody rare.
The original Amiga version had also loading screens with images depicting the present location and text descriptions scrolling below those images. While in the C64 version the loading screens were text-only, there were more of them with more text than in the Amiga version. However, the actual loading times were still shorter in the C64 version, which benefited greatly from being published on a C64 cartridge.note Early C64 cartridges had very small capacity compared to disks. Later cartridges had far larger capacity, much as on the Nintendo Entertainment System, but few games came out on cartridge possibly for cost reasons. The Amiga version was on floppies with no direct hard drive support.

Ace Combat 5 and Zero would typically quote poetry during loading screens. 5 would show excerpts from a poem made for the game, the legend of the game's Demon of Razgriz, while Zero showed real-world poetry that dealt with existence itself.

The PlayStation version of Tiberian Dawn and Red Alert had messages such as "connecting to satellite" and "transfering funds", ending with "prepare for battle".
Tiberian Sun had a loading screen with other messages, such as "analyzing combat zone topography" which meant loading the map and "creating theories on likely enemy plan" which meant initializing the computer AI.
The Loading Screen in Generals also doubled as the mission briefing screen.

The Elder Scrolls:
The Xbox port of Morrowind shows gameplay tips in the loading screens that would show up whenever you load a new or saved game, or when you use one of the Warp Whistles in the game. Compare this to the PC version of the game, which simply shows creature art in its loading screens.
Oblivion has this too and moreover, many "tips of the day" are deliberately false, in accordance to the "ambiguous history" doctrine that all in-game books follow: no event in Tamrielic lore is described uniformly across different sources.
Skyrim also displays tips and bits of lore while loading, but also displays a relevant 3D model that can be rotated and zoomed.

Ghostbusters: The Video Game uses prerendered cut scenes not only to tell major parts of the story, but to disguise load times. This is very evident when loading a checkpoint—which uses the "give some in game information" trick below — or when playing the PC version, which does neither.

Everybody Edits:
In Everybody Edits Flash, there are three separate loading screens. The latter two were removed in Everybody Edits Offline, as the lack of online play made the game much quicker to load.
The first loading screen, which plays while loading the game. It has monochrome text that reads Everybody Edits made out of in-game blocks, being filled with color left-to-right like a bar until the game fully loads. In 2015, a percentage counter was added to the screen. In 2018, the blocky text was replaced with the game's logo.
The second loading screen, which appears while loading the lobby. It shows a screenshot of the game that updates around every month, along with a logo that appropriately updates for holidays.
The third loading screen, which is shown while loading a level. It shows the controls for the game, and text reminding the player to wait.
In Everybody Edits Universe, the loading screen is more minimalist, just having a small text describing the content being loaded in the bottom left corner.

Metroid Prime sticks with the series staple of shooting doors to "de-energize" the locks on them. How much time passes between de-energization and when the door opens generally varies depending on how big the next room is (i.e. how much there is to load). The first Metroid Prime had many small corridors filled with enemies that are designed to slow you down so the next room can load by the time you reach the door. This gets annoying in Metroid Prime: Hunters since it means that the timer during Timed Missions still counts down during the loading sequence. The elevators are also used to mask the loading times.

LocoRoco features the locos in the currently selected type/color bouncing and playing on the loading screen. It's cute enough that you're almost sad when the game finishes loading.
LocoRoco 2 has a MuiMui slowly digging a tunnel for treasure. It is not related to how much a stage or menu is loaded, though actually makes and keeps its own progress as the game is played and amounts to a Collection Sidequest, although there's a chance the treasure is a dud.

Sonic the Hedgehog:
Sonic CD showed Sonic warping through time whenever he was travelling into the past or future, in order to hide the fact that the Sega CD was loading the appropriate time period of the current zone.
In the Sega Dreamcast version of Sonic Adventure, the cutscenes played while the next part loaded.
Sonic Colors shows stage intros not unlike those from the classic Sonic games, as well as Heroes. These are loading screens that appear to load the stage map, while in Unleashed, the enemies and tidbits load while Sonic progresses through the stage.

The Guitar Hero and Rock Band series include either general jokes about the music industry, band stereotypes, or factoids about the band whose song you are about to play. However, when you try to play "Through the Fire and Flames" on expert in Guitar Hero III, the only message the loading screen displays is "Good Luck."
Rock Band 3 covers up loading time with short cutscenes involving your band's characters. For instance, going into a song sometimes shows shots of people lining up to get in or the stage being set up, going to the music store shows a character digging through old records, and going to the character editor shows a character driving to a salon. Some situations still use a animated throbber though (particularly during online play or when loading a "music video" stage)

Duke Nukem Forever. Some hints are actually helpful, like informing you that a berserking Pigcop regains all its health, or that an Octobrain will throw explosives back at you. Others are Captain Obvious ("Take less damage to avoid being killed", "When being shot at, try to avoid bullets") or jokes ("If you died from falling off of a high ledge, it's probably your own fault", "Grabbing a turd in the toilet will not take Ego away even though we really wanted it to").

Tony Hawk's Pro Skater 1+2, in addition to showing off some of the unlockable deck art, has loading screen tips that run the gamut from genuinely helpful gameplay advice to general trivia, snark, developer in-jokes, and even a bit of Nightmare Fuel.

When the player picks a stage in Super Mario Galaxy for Wii, the game shows an animation of Mario blasting off toward the stage.
However, this animation does not mask a loading screen - it plays before the "star select" screen, and the Gateway Galaxy doesn't have the animation playing. However, the transition between the Observatory and the Domes, and the short white screen when entering galaxies are masking loading. Thankfully, they're extremely short.

Command & Conquer: Red Alert 2:
The loading screens showed occupied territories, the location of the next battle, the icons for any new and/or mission-critical units, and what kind of battle it would be through symbols and arrows. For instance, if you were defending a base as the Allies, it would show a blue shield with a red arrow pointing at it.
In skirmish and multiplayer for Red Alert 2, a map of your selected country would be displayed, with information on that country's special unit or ability (such as USA's Paratroopers, Russia's Tesla Tank, Yuri's Yuri Prime, etc).

Katamari Damacy has the King's head spouting out fairly entertaining facts and nonsense. This ranged from complaints about loading times to information on the characters and levels.
In the sequels, you can actually move the King's head with the left analog stick, and control the direction he speaks (or rather fires out letters) in with the right. Not exactly a mini-game, but it can be amusing.

Several Burnout games display "Have you seen..." messages on the loading screens, giving you a sneak peek at upcoming levels and cars. Of course, it keeps doing it regardless of whether you have seen it or not.
This is notably averted in Burnout Paradise, due to the fact that it streams (except for when you restart races, in which case only the Paradise City/Big Surf Island logo on an asphalt road is seen).
Need for Speed: Hot Pursuit also displays tips alongside information of the event/match such as players on the speedwall or starting line-up and teams they're on respectively.

Ōkami has two mini-games in its loading screen, which, if completed, grant you Demon Fangs. One of them involves pressing the X button in sync to the pawn prints appearing, and the other is just button mashing until the Demon Fang appears (though you need longer loading times to be successful). The Wii version removed these minigames.

MySims has to load not only when you start or continue a file, but anytime you enter or exit a building, or go to a different section of town. The load screen features a tessellation of wooden blocks, one of which has a spinning green crystal on it. The bottom has the usual notices about how loading may take a few moments, and telling you not to push Reset or the Power button. What puts them in this category is that it displays tips, such as telling you that holding B lets you place multiple copies of the same block without having to go get another one, or telling you that "I wish I had a pickaxe..." All of these hints will be things you've already seen after playing for about ten minutes, and quickly become sick of.

The Wii U and 3DS both have Pikmin-themed progress screens for system data transfers, both involving Pikmin transporting pieces representing data from one location to another. The Wii to Wii U version has the Pikmin carrying one's Wii save data through various locales in order to reach a rocket that takes them to the Wii U (a similar animation occurs on the Wii U) while messages about what is being transferred currently appear at the top of the screen and the actual progress bar (represented by the timer from the games) on the bottom of the screen.

In Dragon Age II, the loading screens still occasionally offer a How We Got Here synopsis of the major plot of the current act, but more often they contain odd bits of lore. This actually gets a minor Call-Back in Dragon Age: Inquisition, in which you may encounter a quizmaster NPC who asks questions about Dragon Age lore; one of the answers is something you could only have learned from the second game's loading screens.

In Everybody Edits Flash, there are three separate loading screens. The latter two were removed in Everybody Edits Offline, as the lack of online play made the game much quicker to load.
The first loading screen, which plays while loading the game. It has monochrome text that reads Everybody Edits made out of in-game blocks, being filled with color left-to-right like a bar until the game fully loads. In 2015, a percentage counter was added to the screen. In 2018, the blocky text was replaced with the game's logo.
The second loading screen, which appears while loading the lobby. It shows a screenshot of the game that updates around every month, along with a logo that appropriately updates for holidays.
The third loading screen, which is shown while loading a level. It shows the controls for the game, and text reminding the player to wait.

Every Mega Man game has a hallway just before the boss room of each stage. In cartridge-based or downloadable games, which can load boss data more or less instantaneously, this room is unnecessary and does nothing except build suspense. The first game is unique in that its boss hallways are multiple screens long and full of enemies; it was originally envisioned as a Disk System title, so the purpose of this was to keep the player busy while the boss loaded. Although these hallways could have regained their original purpose once the games switched to disk-based media, for whatever reason they weren't — an animated "WARNING" sign hides the loading instead.

Vampire: The Masquerade - Bloodlines would explain some of the in-game notions or give hints about the use of the player's abilities.
It is to note that the information texts would often be direct extracts from the VTM Corebook, as well as somewhat "evolving", meaning that, while you were doing generic stuff while travelling the streets, you would get generic info during loading screens like background about the vampiric condition, but if you were e.g. about to encounter vampires of clans that you have not yet met, it would show information about the respective clan.
