A blue background filled with white question marks forms the backdrop for this title screen. Yellow rectangular blocks arrange horizontally and vertically across the center, creating a puzzle-like pattern. At the bottom, white text reads 'INSERT COIN' on the left and '1984' on the right. The overall layout uses a low-resolution pixel art style typical of 1984 arcade games, with a minimalist design emphasizing the question mark motif and geometric yellow shapes against the bright blue field.
