If I run ACS on my machine, it has no problems.  I know of two other people
running identical copies (one was booted off of the same disk) who have
messed up title screens.  Sooooo the problem isn't a munged copy of ACS, but
rather a demo which has some problems.

The only thing I can think of that could be causing it is that I don't have
any 5.25" drives plugged in (and have the slot set to "your card" to keep
ProDOS 8 from scanning it).  You might want to try that and see if it makes
a difference.  Another thing is that I have my /ram5 disk set to 0/0.

At any rate, the title page appears to be "borrowed" from FTL games... the
swish is identical to the opening for Dungeon Master.
