In this case I'd add a frontend (eg Mala) that boots Pac-Man automatically. You wouldn't see the front end unless you exit at which time you could choose another game.

You could also make a Pac-Man themed layout and have all the speed hacks etc available.

+1 to this.  My DK boots straight to DK (you don't see the front end at all) but when I hit a hidden button DK exits to a nice looking menu with about 30 games to choose from that work with DK controls.  No one can tell it isn't a "real" DK unless I tell them (I have pretty much the exact same setup as severdhed).

Awesome guys, I appreciate the help I'll look into the booting into the front end and just have it preload a certain game at startup. Thanks!

severdhed:
i highly recommend MALA, it is easy to get up and running and works very well.  you edit the registry to set mala as the shell. that way the desktop never loads...  mala has options to load a specific game at launch, so it would always boot up to pacman, but you would have the option to exit out to a menu to launch the other games
