OCR: THE START-UP SCREEN TEAM The first screen of the game resembles an open filing cabinet for the simple reason that all of the information about your performance can be accessed from here. The diagram below shows a represen- YANKEE tation of this screen. On the front of the filing cabinet there are two icons which look like labels. The leftmost icon is the CREDIT icon, which provides information on the game's designers.
