loading screen

noun loading screens

  1. A graphical display shown while a program loads (e.g. from cassette tape or video games). The color graphic loading screens are some of the best I've seen on a C64 and serve their purpose well — to distract the subscriber while the slow 1541 drive transfers the program into the C64's RAM.
