So clearly the boss-key should've been configurable to display some
user-defined screen shot.

I don't even remember there being boss-keys in games I've played. I have
a vague memory of trying it in *something* but no idea what.

Also, I started out my working life on Unix workstations and, well, I
didn't really fancy the freebie games available for those back then and
I had played those in school anyways. I don't think my boss would'be
minded though.
