Kirk: The title screen is done with a combination of playfield, background 
color, and a little bit of player graphics.  The code is a bit bloated 
right now, but you can look at the code in bank4.asm.

I tend to think it's a timing problem with the board, and not a problem 
with the program.  It also works on the 16K board I have when I use the 
EPROM emulator (haven't had a chance to burn an EPROM yet since my DOS 
computer was having problems).

But I attached the source anyway.  Note that this is sort of an alternative 
version of the main code that I sloppily threw together specifically as a 
demo with the music and title screen in there.

Yeah, it's pretty big!  And it will be much larger in the real game.  That 
map system uses very little ROM space to store big maps.

Hmmm, that sounds difficult to do on the 2600 with so little RAM, but I'll 
think about it.
