I would prefer the immediate boot mode using the test switch at power
on (or reset I presume) to change games.

In other words I would like it to look and feel just like a Tempest,
with the game menu (and multiple games) being a really cool easter
egg.

It also allows me to lock the door and not allow any of my nosey
friends and family from changing the game on me...
