  Not like that on the Jag. It's just there for looks. It actually takes
  about 2-3 secs load time. Anyways, got Missile Command 3D by
  Virtuality (the company famous for its arcade VR games) and Ruiner
  Pinball by Atari. Both are very high quality games, one even with a
  true 3D environment, and the pinball games are difficult.
