I was talking about the middle part before the guitar solo. You know aftre the "play the game, play the game play the game play the game"then it has a synth break down. I'm willing to bet if this was a pre mack song it wouldve been more ambitious in that the descending repeat of "play the game" probably wouldve became more computerized with each repeat and then goes oin to the video game part.
Anyway I think all the synths were a symbol to represent "games". So the intro would too. I just wasnt thinking about it when I made the post.

I thought the intro, which sounds like a power saw, was supposed to represent having your heart cut out from being in love over and over again.
It'll cut you to pieces my friends... this "love" stuff. Take my advice: get a cat instead. Love is destined to fail. It nearly always does. And in the meantime you have to share your personal space with someone else... it's so inhuman. And for what? An orgasm?

The cheesy sci-fi movie synth is there at the beginning just because Queen wanted to tell all the fans that they've started using synths.
