If you want to run only a single game and want minimal software, how about no software at all?  AMOD (Arcade Machine On a Disk) boots straight from a floppy, no software to install at all.

There are several caveats to this approach.

1) Floppies wear out.  Rather quickly, actually.  Every time he turns the machine on it's another nail in that floppys coffin.

2) Sound support.  He has to be able to fit everything in 1.44M of space.  Depending on the driver, that may be hard, what with DOS, AMOD and sound drivers.

3) Rotation support.  AMOD only supports horizontal monitors.  Galaxian is a vertical game.

Ahh yes, didn't think about the rotation issue.  Oh well....

Sheesh just buy the PCB and a Jamma loom.
