The Magic Sword title screen displays ornate gold and jeweled decorative borders framing the logo at the top center. Below the title, a small sprite of a wizard or warrior holding a staff appears centered. Menu options "START" and "OPTION" are positioned in white text in the middle section. Copyright text for Capcom appears at the bottom, with dates 1990-1992. The background is solid black, creating high contrast with the colorful title artwork rendered in 16-bit pixel art style typical of early 1990s arcade-to-console ports.
