The January '87 preview shows a title screen similar to the Guardic one, along with a 1986 copyright.
The later previews show a near-final title screen, though Kelesis has a different haircut than in the final version of the game, as well as having his right arm and sword be even more extended outwards. Additionally, the star shining through the ceiling hole is missing, and consequently the golden glint in the title logo or reflection on the left side of the wall is absent.
