A title screen is the initial screen of a computer, video, or arcade game after the credits and logos are displayed of the game developer and game publisher. Earlier title screens often included all the game options available (single player, multiplayer, configuration of controls, etc.) while modern games have opted for the title screen to serve as a splash page. The reason for this can be attributed to the use of the title screen as a loading screen, in which to cache all the graphical elements of the main menu. Older computer and video games had relatively simple menu screens, that often featured pre-rendered artwork. In arcade games, the title screen is shown as part of the attract mode loop, usually after a game demonstration is played. The title screen, as well as the high score list, urges potential players to insert coins. In video games, especially if the screen is not merged with the main menu, the screen urges the player to press start. Similarly, in computer games, the message "Hit any key" is often displayed. With the lack of an actual "Start" button, the Nintendo Wii uses a different prompt, such as Twilight Princess 'Start A + B'. Image File history File links Information_icon. ...
