title screen
Software's opening display
A title screen is the initial display when you start a video game or software application, typically showing the game's name, logo, and prompts like "Press Start" or "Click to Begin." It serves as a visual introduction before gameplay or main content: The title screen featured dramatic music and animated graphics.
In older games, the title screen often doubled as a demo loop, cycling through gameplay footage if left idle.
