Art Of The Title Looks Back At Video Game Intro Screens
When we discuss games, we talk about a lot of different things: story, graphics, visuals, and gameplay. We often overlook the importance of the title screen. Thankfully, Art of the Title reminds us how important these moments are.
In “A Brief History of Video Game Title Design,” Art of the Title editor Ian Albison dives deep into our history, starting with Donkey Kong in 1981 and concludes 35 titles later with The Last of Us. Kudos to Albison for including my personal favorite (and one of my top three games of all time), Mega Man 2.
The video is set to Anamanaguchi’s “Endless Fantasy.” You can check it out below.

I’d like to ask you to support Game Informer’s continued coverage of games with a subscription. For less than two dollars per issue, we mail you a full year of 10 print magazines, each with cover stories and preview features filled with exclusive details about the most exciting upcoming games. We profile and interview game creators. We look back on the rich history of gaming, and we celebrate what’s next.
Here on the website, we offer much of our content for free, including game reviews, daily news, videos, event coverage, and more – all with minimal ads.
We do so with a small editorial team, alongside contributing paid writers from around the world – over 65 individuals from 9 countries around the world, just in the last couple of years.
It’s not possible without support.
In a time when game makers and games coverage have faced hard struggles and layoffs, the future of this 30+ year magazine and community is at risk. Our new standalone magazine subscription is the number one way you can keep us alive – and we believe you’ll get a pretty fantastic gaming magazine in your mailbox every few weeks for your trouble.
Thank you.
