TandyVision Posted February 10, 2017 Share Posted February 10, 2017 Is it called the main screen, home screen, etc? Wasn't there one that listed Mattel but not any specific game? Thanks! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

+DZ-Jay Posted February 10, 2017 Share Posted February 10, 2017 I also call it the "Title Screen." I believe Mattel called it the "Copyright Notice." Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
m-crew Posted February 10, 2017 Share Posted February 10, 2017 I call it "look at all those colours" screen. Lol You just can't help looking at those. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+save2600 Posted February 10, 2017 Share Posted February 10, 2017 Some people would call it the 'splash' screen today. I always refer to it as the opening or title screen. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

+Lathe26 Posted February 10, 2017 Share Posted February 10, 2017 Actually, a splash screen typically shows up at launch time. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Splash_screen Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TandyVision Posted February 10, 2017 Author Share Posted February 10, 2017 Awesome Thanks for the replies! Was there a title screen maybe on a test cartridge or something that showed all of the color bars, Mattel Electronics and said Intellivision? I know I've seen it before but can't remember where. I wanted to make it my desktop background on my computer screen. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+DZ-Jay Posted February 10, 2017 Share Posted February 10, 2017 Actually, a splash screen typically shows up at launch time. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Splash_screen Sure, but it comes from the "splash" graphics in comic books and magazines. As the article you linked to starts: "A splash screen is a graphical control element..." Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

+DZ-Jay Posted February 14, 2017 Share Posted February 14, 2017 I also call it the "Title Screen." I believe Mattel called it the "Copyright Notice." My mistake, Mattel indeed calls it the "Title Screen." This is the term used in the EXEC documentation and in the BSR site. I confused it with "Copyright Notice" because they both mention a "Copyright Routine," but this was not to draw the screen, but to "fix" the copyright line itself in case a game needed to mention a third party other than Mattel (e.g., TRON, D&D, Electric Company, etc.). I confused it confusion because that is the routine that third-party programmers (and indeed home-brewers) to draw their own title screens and hijack system control from the EXEC and into their own games. Anyway, "Title Screen" it is. -dZ. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
