The title screen displays "Conquest of the Crystal Palace" in cyan cursive script centered on a black background. Two mirrored orange-robed wizard sprites flank the title on left and right sides. At the top, a white pixel-font score display reads "HIGH 00050000 SCORE 00000000". Below the title appears "PUSH START" in cyan text. The bottom of the screen shows copyright information reading "©1990 QUEST" with a pink developer logo, followed by "LICENSED BY NINTENDO OF AMERICA" in white text.
