Title Screen is the song that plays at the title screen of the unreleased version of Days of Thunder: Mindscape (NES). It plays at 180 BPM. Though the game credits Chris Oberth and Lou Haehn for music and sound, the song was most likely written by Chris.

Chris wrote the music in 6502 assembly macros using Nick Eastridge's NES sound driver.

Its internal name, according to the source code is BTR2. It is unknown what it stands for.

Composition

The song starts out with the noise channel in its periodic noise mode, rather than the standard white noise mode. The triangle later enters, playing a four note loop, and indicating the song is played in the key of D Major. The square channels then use a hardware sweep down and the main part of the song begins.

The music is played approximately a quarter step (microtone) sharp.
