Limited no. of games, but the most trouble-free has to be one of those 5 or 10 in 1 TV games.  That would be a piece of cake to setup and use.

I have seen those done Min and I agree, I think that would be a piece of cake.  Problem is, he has seen my cabinet with a "bajillion" games on it and thinks he should be able to have ME create the same thing for him.  He doesn't seem to understand what it takes to keep it running.  I built it and configured it, so I know the in's and out's of the interface and controls.

Thanks for the response though, any other help people?

DOS?  More work to setup, but less work to keep running.  I'd also disable all the shift commands on the panel.  You could also try that cd thing (Fraggle?).  Then write down instructions for him so he could do it all over if needed.
