The Official Aldorlea Games Forum

I'm back with my silly polls lol

Sooooo which game of mine has the best title screen in your opinion, the one that really makes you want to play immediately (or maybe stare at it cuz it's sooo pretty xD)

If you are feeling hyper (like Bokden) you may even want to chart them and/or give some comments, it's always cool!

Now the title screens:

Laxius Force


Laxius Force II


Laxius Force III


Millennium


Millennium 2


Millennium 3


Dreamscape


3 Stars of Destiny


Asguaard


Pick your fav!
Let there be blood!

My vote goes for mm2 ^^ the background..and Marine's look who fits the title ''take me higher''

Millennium 3, because of the werweolf artwork in that. It is really enticing and I'm sure that it will make everyone try the game, because of the name of the game and because of the artworks. ^^

Nuh uh...Dreamscape! Made me wonder if the cat was part of the game and the color (my favorite ) is what drew my attention straight off the bat The title and beautiful artwork of the Erin and Athena are also huge draws

I like Millennium the most.

I choose Arvale: Treasure of Memories II! Oh... that wasn't a choice?

Okay then, Millennium 2

Asguaard,apparently for known reasons

on the basis of women in bikini tops, gotta go with LF III . but really, my vote's for 3 Stars, although the title screen does nothing to prepare you for the mindmess to come (when i finally escaped the hall of madness and stepped into the empty white room, my jaw hit the floor, and the maze of malufus still haunts me -- relentless random attacks by vicious monsters when you're lost in a maze is just diabolical).

LF3's is actually my second favorite lol

Voted MM2 too. Because it's awesome!

thanks lol

This question is a tricky one.
Based purely on the artistic impression, I would say Millennium first (beautiful picture and music, it's hard to beat), Millenium 2 (closely) second and Dreamscape third.

But for me, title screen isn't only about "artistic impression", it's more like some kind of an intro to the game. If the title screen (and title music) is good, then I usually just sit there in front of the screen and try to "get the feeling of the game" before I actually start playing it.
This "staring at the title screen" is quite a special moment to me. No more looking forward to the game and guessing the plot, I have the game in my hands. And suddenly, I'm hesitant to start. Because once I start playing, I will eventually finish the game and then there will be no more surprises for me. I kinda feel as a small child unwrapping a gift sometimes, and that's why title screens are important to me.

All the Aldorlea games have good and fitting title screens and music: Asguaard is a bit cold and evokes feeling of a long road, Dreamscape feels dreamy, Millennium quite fairy-tal-ish, Laxius Force heroic and 3 Stars of Destiny reminds me of Outer World. If I should rank title screens according to this "overall feeling", I would place LF1 first (after all the anxious waiting, sequel to LP3 was finally on my screen), LF3 second (well, it's just LF3, that's more than enough reason for me) and Asguaard third.

Very great explanation Tomas, thank you for it.

I kinda relate although personally what matters most is the style over the polish.
I like Asguaard best but LF3 is second for me.
And I think Random in golden armor looks awesome ^^

Indeed, Random in golden armor looks as a true hero. But I always look at Luciana (and Wendala), anyway...
