Here's an update of that from RTU:

"The alternate title screen is a reflection on my 
feelings towards the Apple after months of programming 
agony.... it may offend Apple zealots...there's no 
profanity though. ;)  I still can't believe it made it 
to the production disks... *grin*  In digging around to 
pull together the source code zip files, I stumbled 
across what I'm pretty sure is a binary file containing 
the alternate title screen. All I need to do is get an 
old Apple II paint program and load it up....if I can.

I still have two copies of the master disks sent to Epyx 
for production, WITHOUT COPY PROTECTION. (Epyx did the 
copy protection. We just had to leave "X" sectors free 
for them to install it) If there's anybody in southeast 
michigan USA that still has an apple and can transcribe 
the disks, that may be a route for getting the images
too....assuming the disks are still readable. Since I 
think I've found the file containing the alternate 
tuitle screen, the only real reason for doing this is to 
be able to make the alternate title come up during
the program boot....which would still be neat (for me)."

So maybe someone can help with that? Contact me in case.
