    The long delay is not simply a means of annoying the piss out of you - 
while it is running, the computer is actually "creating" the world you'll be
using.
    Pressing a key or mouse button will cause the game to begin as soon as all
calculations are finished, and this depends on both your settings and the 
speed of your computer. On my 386sx/16, it usually goes well into the third
or fourth scene of the "genesis" introduction.
